IT ASSET USAGE POLICY – Draft

Description

This policy provides a documented, enforceable framework governing the use and protection of all IT assets owned, leased, or managed by the organization. It defines the responsibilities of asset owners and users, the conditions for acceptable and personal use, and the security controls required for endpoint devices, mobile and off-premises use, removable media, software licensing, and email and internet services. It also covers monitoring, the return of assets, exceptions, and enforcement. By aligning with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 controls for asset inventory (5.9), acceptable use (5.10), and return of assets (5.11), the policy helps protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information while reducing the risk of misuse, loss, or non-compliance.
