Security

Overview

Internet/Intranet/Extranet-related systems, including but not limited to computer equipment, software, operating systems, storage media, network accounts providing electronic mail, web browsing, and file transfers, are the property of P3MO Ltd.

Effective security is a team effort involving the participation and support of every P3MO Ltd employee or contractor who deals with information and/or information systems. It is the responsibility of every team member to read and understand this policy, and to conduct their activities accordingly.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to communicate our information security policies and outline the acceptable use and protection of P3MO Ltd's information and assets. These rules are in place to protect customers, employees, and P3MO Ltd.
