“As a major player in financial services and other market sectors, we have a continuous obligation to raise the bar in effective corporate governance, summarized. That is what PolicyMatter is helping Experian to achieve and that is why we feel confident and positive about meeting our ongoing compliance responsibilities.”
Ian Sirrs,
Director of Risk Assurance, 
Experian Group 

“Our objective when we set out with PolicyMatter was to identify the extent to which it could provide an effective and robust system for the presentation of Group procedures to staff on a regular basis, as well as providing management with clear system of testing and documenting the level of staff awareness. This was what it achieved and it’s helping Julian Hodge Bank continue to pursue its goals of innovation, professionalism and maintaining leadership in our chosen sectors”

“Communicating key policies on how we expect staff to use the company’s IT systems is an important issue for Symphony. With PolicyMatter we’ve found a practical way of making this happen across the whole group. We can see at any time who has read the policy, agreed to it and signed up to it. Likewise for staff who may have worked previously in different environments with different cultures, we can help them by making sure they’re fully aware of what’s acceptable within Symphony and what isn’t. For everyone, it’s clear, unambiguous and effective.”

PolicyMatter addresses the issues in measuring policy compliance, distributing policies such as codes of conduct policy, corporate ethics policy, corporate governance principles as well as managing codes of conduct, codes of ethics, corporate policy development, corporate policy measurement, corporate policy distribution and managing professional conduct.

Over the last decade, many organizations have recognized that risks related to their use of the Internet and email come not just from external sources but increasingly from within. To address the issue of human misuse, many firms have gone to great lengths to devise policies for employees on the acceptable use of IT systems and networks, such as use of email and the Internet. 

But do such Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) provide an effective guard against misuse and the various consequences and penalties? 

We think there’s more to creating an effective AUP than meets the eye, especially at a time when the potential for misuse is expanding and the consequences are increasingly severe. In this paper we explore why the majority of AUPs are ineffective, often not understood, poorly managed, and represent more of a token gesture than a comprehensive and sustainable approach to risk management.
