To mitigate reputational risks from employees' social media use, the enterprise should primarily establish clear guidelines and expectations through comprehensive social media policies.

Common mistakes.

• A. Implementing preventative controls is a technical measure that may help, but it does not address the behavioral aspect or define what constitutes inappropriate use in the first place.
• C. Implementing a review of processes utilizing social media is a reactive or monitoring control that occurs after policies have been defined and behavior has occurred, rather than being the primary preventative step.
• D. Ensuring each use of social media is approved by management is an impractical and overly burdensome approach that would hinder productivity and is not scalable for individual employee social media activity.
