A monitoring policy that fits on one page

Policies fail when nobody can find the paragraph that answers the question being asked. One page is enough if it is organised around the questions people actually have.

Six sections, roughly equally short:

  1. Why — one sentence, one purpose.
  2. What is recorded — a list, not "as necessary".
  3. What is not recorded — the list that prevents most objections.
  4. Who can see it — by role, plus the fact that views are logged.
  5. How long it is kept — a number, and what deletes it.
  6. Where to ask or object — a named person or a mailbox that is actually read.

Then the part most policies leave out: a review date. Without one, a temporary arrangement becomes permanent by default, and the review is where you switch off what turned out to be unnecessary.

Keep the policy and the configuration in the same document. A policy that promises something the software does not do is worse than no policy, because it documents the gap.

Ready-to-adapt notice text: employee monitoring notice template.

General information, not legal advice.

iMonitor EAM is the on-premise edition: the server and database stay inside your own network, and every module can be switched on independently, so a narrow scope stays narrow.
