SOFTWARE LICENCES
7.1 Copyright
-
Copyright stipulations governing vendor-supplied
software must be observed at all times.
-
The IT Department/relevant IT resource is responsible
for maintaining records of software licences. Software
that is acquired on a trial basis must be used in
accordance with the vendor's copyright instructions.
-
All software developed within "Company Name"
is the property of "Company Name" and
must not be copied or distributed without prior
written authorisation from the IT Department.

DATA BACKUPS
-
The IT Department must take regular (define as appropriate
for your company e.g. daily) backups of the main
servers for which they are responsible for managing.
-
Users must always save data and files on the network
as opposed to the local hard disk. This ensures
that regular backups are taken and are available
for recovery purposes. Users should be aware that
data saved on the local hard disk is not backed
up by the IT Department/relevant IT resource
