The Internet is a powerful tool for improving your business’ efficiency. But it can also be a great way for employees to waste time, damage the security of your IT system and give you legal headaches. 

If you do not already have an Internet policy, you should actively consider putting one in place. A well-thought-out policy can help you enjoy the benefits of the Internet while reducing the pitfalls. It encourages employees to use the Internet effectively, states what you consider to be acceptable use, and sets up procedures to minimise security and legal risks.
