Remote Access Policies

Posted by samzenpus on from the write-it-down-from-home dept.

Samalie writes "My company is considering implementing a formal remote access policy (and agreement for staff to sign) for users who access our network from home via VPN. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what this policy/agreement should contain? Anyone have their own corporate policy that I can borrow from? This is the first time I've come across anyone wanting a formal policy for this & online searches haven't been very helpful."

    I second this. As an employee, I don't want to pollute my personal computer with work related stuff. It takes away valuable pr0n storage space.

    most of the last few Ask Slashdot articles seem to be written by people who can't be bothered to do a little work.

    That's why I got into computers.

    Unless, of course, you work for a porn company. Then porn away.

  4. Important: Please read, VPN Corporate Policy #3281 by theendlessnow · · Score: 3, Funny

    1. If you connect to the VPN and place your own machine's IP onto our network... we will kill you.

    Signing below indicates that you have read the policy in question and agree to adhere to it.

    Don't make users sign it. That's ridiculous. But here's what it should be:

    1. Same restrictions as what you have from work. No pr0n, nothing illegal.

    2. User must have at least xp sp2 with patches installed with virus scanner X - or whatever your default company policy is. Or give them a pre-setup laptop. (Probably save you money in the long term, less chance of viruses etc)

    3. Users must email their manager every 10 minutes to let them know that they're online.
