Dan acceptable use policy

Explanation

An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a formal document that defines what actions users are permitted and prohibited from performing on an organization's network and systems - covering things like personal use of company resources, prohibited websites, software installation, and data handling. A password policy governs password length, complexity, and expiration requirements but says nothing about network behavior. A regulatory and compliance policy addresses the organization's obligations under laws and regulations (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS) rather than individual user conduct. 'User acceptance policy' is not a standard IT policy term. The AUP is the foundational document users typically sign when they are granted network access.
