The use of digital tools is now central to all businesses, large and small. But with this digitalization also come risks: data loss, misuse, cyberattacks, non-compliance with GDPR...
That’s where the IT policy (or information systems policy): an essential document for establishing rules for the use of digital tools (computers, email, software, the cloud, working remotely), guiding behavior, empowering users, and protecting the company’s digital assets.
This charter template has been designed to :
✓ Protect the information system against malicious or careless use;
✓ Secure personal data and guarantee compliance with the GDPR;
✓ Clarify employees' rights and duties with regard to digital tools;
✓ Limit the company's legal Accountability in the event of an incident;
✓ Establish a clear, shared framework on the professional use of digital resources;
✓ Provide for sanctions and control procedures, while complying with the law.
It also serves as a lever for raising awareness among employees, who are often the first vectors of IT risks without being fully aware of it. By formalizing clear, accessible and legally sound rules, this charter reinforces your company's security culture.
Whether it’s a matter of curbing excessive personal use or regulating working remotely, or preventing the leakage of sensitive data, this document provides concrete solutions to everyday situations. It also allows for the establishment of control rules (file access, absence management) while respecting employee privacy, in accordance with the recommendations of the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties).
