Remote Access Policy
The Remote Access Policy states the company's position on accessing the corporate network remotely. This policy covers such topics as: permitted use of the network from remote sources, use of VPN/encryption software, and accessing the network from non-company-owned computers.
This policy seeks to define standards for accessing corporate information technology resources from outside the network. This includes access for any reason from the employee's home, remote working locations, while traveling, etc. The purpose is to define how to protect information assets when using an insecure transmission medium.
