What this means
All employees with access to Keltbray’s IT systems and to personal computers, mobile devices or smart phones must use them appropriately, ethically and responsibly, making sure that no security threats are introduced and ensuring systems are kept secure.

We will always:
– Update passwords regularly – Password protect smart phones and other IT/ communication equipment – Include the company email signature in business-related emails – Report any loss or security breaches promptly
We will never:
– Abuse the IT privileges given to us by Keltbray – Store personal data on the company network – Download software or connect hardware to a company laptop without authorisation – Use company email to distribute content that might cause offence or anxiety to colleagues – Use company hardware for unlawful or immoral activities, or to run a personal business – Use personal social networking accounts to communicate about company activities or business
Pause for a second!
Would you ever…? … give a colleague your login details because you need them to send you a copy of a file you need to work on away from the office? … use the same password over and over? … download illegal copies of software to your company laptop? … allow a visitor to use your PC while connected to the company network? … use an internet file sharing site to store or share company documents? … browse the internet from a company laptop to view inappropriate content?
