What this template looks like

A four-page AUP covering acceptable and prohibited use of company IT resources, internet and email policies, mobile device guidelines, social media rules, and violation consequences. Designed to be countersigned by employees and stored with HR records.

Why this template

Why we built it

An AUP is the foundational policy document for every security compliance framework — HIPAA, SOC 2, and cyber insurance requirements all reference employee acceptable use policies. Many MSPs have never provided their clients with one.

How to use it

Customization guide

Replace the bracketed company name fields and review the prohibited use section against your client's specific business. Add any industry-specific provisions (HIPAA for healthcare, attorney-client privilege for legal). Countersign at hire and annually.
