Internet Acceptable Use Policy (IAUP)
IAUP is a written agreement, between employer and employee, whose intent is to identify permissible workplace uses of the Internet and prohibited workplace uses of the Internet.Employers usually have sensitive data on their computer systems - company plans, customer data, or product designs may need a clause in their Internet Policy concerning trade secrets. It should be made clear to employees that under no circumstances should proprietary company information be passed though the Internet, or that such material be encrypted if transmitted over the Internet.
Employers should institute guidelines that prohibit illegal use of the Internet in general. A directive that employees take care not to violate copyright laws should be included. Gambling via the Internet may also be a concern, and an it should contain a prohibition against such activity not only because of its potentially adverse affect on productivity but also because the activity may be illegal.
