These days if you don’t have the company’s website to promote and present online your activities and services, there are small chances for you to be known and to extend your business. But on the other hand, once you have your business online, and you are the website owner, there are other things that must be taken in consideration.

What I want to talk about regarding this issue is with reference to AUP. AUP- acceptable usage policy is a set of rules applied by website owner which restrict the ways in which network or site may be used. Usually an AUP applies when the organization has global rules for operation of IT equipment by employees, students, etc. Companies and schools usually create acceptable usage policy for use between employees, students, parents and teachers. Inappropriate use exposes the company/school to risks including virus attacks, compromise of network systems and services, and legal issues.

The AUP document creation involves specific policy rights for each company in part in order to reflect correctly the situation and acceptance of the terms. When starting the creation of the AUP you must first define the acceptable and unacceptable behavior and then determine procedures for dealing with abusers of the policy. Also you must agree on a framework for review and eventual implementation. Since usage and technology may change with time, you need to be flexible and change the policy when it is required.

There are many circumstances when even if the website owner have defined all the following aspects:
• Unacceptable activities in your centre
• Activities which you want to consider further before making a decision
• Acceptable activities in your centre
he prefers clarifying what is acceptable using filtering software which restricts Internet access. The decision is taken as a consequence of completing the security feeling. Once there is used an Internet filtering software, the access to specific websites and application can be restrict and block, preventing in this way the inappropriate usage of Internet.

Indifferent the protecting measure you apply, it is important to explain users the reasons for these restrictions in order to keep problems to minimum and to improve the knowledge and awareness of your users.
