Appropriate asset controls are important in order to safeguard the business while providing employees the use of assets needed to do their jobs. These controls ensure assets are managed and tracked in a routine fashion to reduce risk and unnecessary costs to the business.

The purpose of this policy, written by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, is to provide procedures and protocols for supporting effective organizational asset management specifically focused on electronic devices.

Featured text from the policy:
