End user cyber security policy (basic)

This policy covers some of the basics of cyber security. It is designed to help new and small businesses to develop their first end user cyber security policy. The clauses are mainly restrictive, stating what employees must and must not do.

This is intended to support people who have never attempted to write a policy before, so there are limited options to choose from. If you are looking for more flexibility or if you want to write a permissive policy (for instance, if you want a policy covering bring your own device or BYOD), see the standard and premium versions of this document.

This end user cyber security policy is the work of cyber security expert Emma Osborn of OCSRC Ltd (see https://www.ocsrc.co.uk/).
