Standard Statement | |||||
Purpose | One of the challenges facing the Seventh-Day Adventist Church today is enabling employees to work productively while also ensuring the security of the IT network and, crucially, the data on it. Given that technology is continually changing, employees play a significant role in IT security. Information Communications Technology (ICT) resources are provided to improve and enhance the conduct of Church business and functions. Using information technology, accessing information, and communicating electronically can be cost-effective, timely and efficient. All users of Church ICT resources are expected to exercise responsibility, use the resources ethically, respect the rights and privacy of others and operate within the laws of the State and Commonwealth, including anti-discrimination and sexual harassment laws, and the rules and policies of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. This standard sets out the minimum rules for acceptable use of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church information systems and services for individuals that have been authorised to use or access the Church information systems. It also expresses the commitment of the Church to providing and maintaining a secure, effective, and reliable IT infrastructure and services to support its operations. | ||||
Scope | This standard applies to all users of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Information and Communication Technology resources including but not limited to staff (including casuals), consultants and contractors, third parties, volunteers, and visitors to the Church. This standard also applies to users connecting personally owned devices such as laptop computers, smartphones, and tablets to the Church network, and/or storing any Church data on such devices. | ||||
