Password Policy

Simple or shared passwords are ineffective and aid hackers and others in their illicit attempts to access the organization's sensitive, proprietary, and confidential data. Protecting the organization's computers, systems, data, and communications from unauthorized access is of paramount importance, and strong passwords play a critical role in the process. This policy's purpose is to ensure that every employee, contractor, temporary worker, and volunteer understands and agrees to abide by specific guidelines for creating, managing, and maintaining passwords.
