What is an Acceptable Use Policy?

An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a set of rules outlining how users are expected to behave when using a particular technology, app, or network. AUPs clearly define the scope and purpose of using the technology, user responsibilities, prohibited activities, and the consequences of violations.​

Acceptable Use Policies are crucial for maintaining a secure and productive technology environment within an organization. They help prevent misuse, protect sensitive information, and promote a positive and respectful online or networked community. Individuals and organizations are typically required to read and acknowledge these policies before gaining access to the systems covered by them.​
