⛔ Most companies' IT security policies seem to come in the form of restrictions AGAINST employee/user actions, but with this approach, IT teams are missing a huge opportunity: crowdsourcing employee goodwill to protect information.
😇 Most people want to do the right thing: they want to help protect company information, but they need to do their jobs and hit company goals.
🌊 It's like water: if there is no path, employees will find or carve a path to accomplish what they need to do. And with only restrictions being offered by IT, those newly carved paths may not be ideal from an IT security perspective: using unapproved software to get the job done, and ultimately causing IT to lose sight of or control over precisely the data they were trying to protect.
↪️But IT teams can also change that:
🤝 Communicate policies clearly, without the jargon, from the start, and repeat them often, making clear the WHYs or the issues that common alternatives create — and extend an invitation for consultations for new business needs; become a trusted solutions partner. And make employees feel that they are part of the team!
