Home Usage of Company-Owned Equipment Policy

Employees who work from home often use company-supplied systems and devices, which helps ensure that they have consistent, state-of-the-art equipment to do their work. However, organizations should provide usage guidelines, such as this policy from TechRepublic Premium, covering the responsibilities of IT staff and employees.

From the policy:

For an organization to properly implement this policy it is important to separate and document IT department responsibilities and individual employee responsibilities.

IT department responsibilities

The IT department should:

  • Arrange to obtain standard equipment for employee home usage to ensure consistent costs and ease of support.
  • Utilize asset tags and track equipment via electronic documentation.
  • Utilize mobile device management if applicable to be able to reset passwords, block unnecessary applications, and locate/wipe lost or stolen devices.
  • Ensure the patching of remote computer systems/mobile devices.
  • Ensure the use of anti-malware on remote computer systems/mobile devices and be able to confirm that they receive frequent signature updates.
