How to Create an Online Policy for Staff and Students
September 28, 2009
You arrive in the office on Monday morning, ready to meet your staff to discuss the week’s projects.
All is fine until you learn that an employee accessed sensitive information to create a video now available on YouTube.
Thousands of people watched the video in the past two days, including local media who called to ask for a comment.
There’s whispering outside your door, which tells you that other employees also know and wonder what’s next.
Articles warning you about this type of online high jinks have appeared in newspapers, but until now, you didn’t consider it a priority. “Maybe I’ll add a sentence about online practices in the employees manual,” you said to yourself but forgot just as quickly.
What happens now? How to you bring the current problem to a satisfactory end and create a policy that stops security breaches before they start?
Executives at corporations, universities, and non-profit organizations find it difficult to create and distribute online policy rules to employees, students, and volunteers. But such a policy is mandatory and required to keep private information away from sources that can inflict permanent harm.
What’s at risk?
A comprehensive, yet easy-to-manage program, which I developed for several clients and reveal in my presentation, Who Put Us on YouTube? and Other Online Sabotage You Can Stop immediately puts your plan for curtailing avoidable breaches into action.
At the end, you’ll understand problems occurring now at facilities just like yours and solutions to stop violations before someone makes your private information public.
