In this project, students will investigate a sample
acceptable use policy of an organization and try to revise it based on the SANS
Acceptable Use document.
Description
- Locate a copy of the Computer Use
Policy of an organization (the policy).
- Study the Acceptable Use Policy
published by the SANS Institute in 2003, which is available at http://secinf.net/policy_and_standards/Acceptable_Use_Policy.html
(or a local
copy), and Danchev's article, Building
and Implementing a Successful Information Security Policy, which is
available at http://secinf.net/policy_and_standards/Building_Implementing_Security_Policy1228.html
(or a local
copy).
- Compare the policy against the
recommendations made respectively by Danchev and the SANS Institute.
- Identify three statements in the policy that can be improved, based on the
recommendations by Danchev and the SANS document.
- Identify three aspects of the policy that are not well covered in the SANS
document.
