Can someone please give me an idea of some things to keep in mind when formulating a computer access policy and a brief overview about securing a system?

Those are terribly open-ended questions.

You can find information on Acceptable Use Policy Statements at this address:

On securing systems...
What are your requirements?
- What OS?
- How much hardware?
- Business or private?
- Standalone or networked?
- Internet access?
- What is the value of the data? Would anyone want to steal/destroy it?
- How much money do you have to direct to the problem?

As you can see, there are a multitude of questions to answer about your system(s) before you can even begin to talk about securing them.

Contact me privately is you want to discuss the matter more.

Regards,
