SME legal information site tells SMEs how to develop an internet policy that will protect their interests.
London, UK, October 21, 2009 — While the internet is an essential tool in many businesses, for many SMEs it can also be a time-waster, a threat to the company’s IT system, and a source of legal headaches, warns UK SME legal information site Law Donut.
“If you do not already have an Internet policy, you should actively consider putting one in place,” says Law Donut’s expert article. “It encourages employees to use the Internet effectively, states what you consider to be acceptable use, and sets up procedures to minimise security and legal risks.”
Law Donut provides a briefing that outlines the main ingredients of an internet policy and advice on how to implement and enforce it.
Among the issues Law Donut’s experts advise SMEs to cover are:
* Controlling misuse of the internet, including time wasting on social networking sites
* File downloads, including setting limits on the size of files that can be downloaded
* Copyright and other IP issues
* Online purchasing
