Guest Access Policy
The Guest Access Policy states the company's policy for allowing guests, such as contractors or visitors, to connect to the corporate network. The policy covers AUP acceptance, account use, security of guest machines, guest infrastructure requirements, and more.
Allowing guests to access the company network is sometimes necessary, but this access can introduce outside threats and thus must be tightly controlled. A sound policy on guest network access will reduce risk and ensure consistent application of security standards across the company.
