Decision details

Further to Minute No. 51 of the meeting of the Audit and Governance Committee held on 15 March 2023, the Council considered the report of the Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services which sought approval for the revised security policy documentation relating to the Authority’s ICT estate. The ICT Acceptable Usage Policy was reviewed on an annual basis by the Audit and Governance Committee and the Council.

The report indicated that changes to the ICT Acceptable Usage Policy included explicit guidance for SharePoint data owners as well as the Council’s ICT Monitoring capabilities. It also indicated that the Audit and Governance Committee had requested that the policy in relation to the use of email (key principles) should be reworded with regard to elected Members and the policy had subsequently been amended as requested by the Committee.

It was moved by Councillor Ian Maher, seconded by Councillor Fairclough and

RESOLVED: That

(1)      the revised security policy documentation relating to the Authority’s ICT estate be approved; and

(2)      approval be given to the internal publication of the Acceptable Use Policy.
