IT Acceptable Use Policy
About this document
An internal policy telling everyone who uses your IT what they may and may not do: devices, accounts, email, internet, software, cloud and AI tools, data handling, personal use and monitoring. It sits under your Information Security Policy and gives staff the day-to-day rules.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
