The absence of an internet policy can increase organizational risk. The lack of a policy may lead to internet security breaches, infected networks, legal liabilities, reduced productivity, and increased costs. An effective internet policy details an organization's guidelines for network and internet access. An internet policy may include limitations to the network such as prohibited activities, illegal copying, and communication of trade secrets. A policy will convey to employees that the activities that they partake in with the company's computer are open to monitoring by the company.
