Janco Associates has just updated its CIO IT Infrastructure Policy Bundle. This is part of Janco’s continuing effort to create a set of standard ‘Best Practices’ procedures that CIOs can implement to meet the challenges they face as they adjust to the new ways that technology is being used.

The CEO of Janco, Victor Janulaitis, said, “As the use of personal mobile devices, social networking, and compliance requirements expand, CIOs are faced with a dilemma. How can they balance business continuity, security, and compliance needs in an ever more complex operating environment, while supporting increased business demands for more technology by an increasingly more technology literate user base.” He added, “With our CIO IT Infrastructure Policy Bundle and Electronic Forms Janco has addressed those needs with the tools that are contained in this bundle.”

The policies in the bundle are: backup and backup retention; blog and personal web site; BYOD; incident communication; Internet, e-mail, social networking, mobile device, electronic communications, and record retention; mobile device access and use; patch management; outsourcing; record management, retention, and destruction; sensitive information; service level agreement with metrics; social networking; telecommuting; and travel and off-site meeting.

More information on this bundle, including a full copy of the table of contents for all 14 of the policies, can be obtained by following the links

Electronic forms to support the policies are all included within the individual policies, in addition all of modifiable electronic versions of the 50 forms are available in Microsoft WORD or EXCEL are available as a standalone item or as an add-on in a premium edition of the bundle. The CEO added, “Managers have the option to order single policies, the bundle of 14 policies (with or without the electronic forms); or just the electronic forms. In addition, we offer subsets of the electronic forms necessary for Disaster Recovery Business Continuity; Records Retention and Disposition; or Safety Program.”
