IT Security Awareness: New Policy Backup Process

Process To Ensure the Availability of Policies During Downtime

What Is Happening?

All policies located on the intranet will be backed up monthly to a OneDrive location. This will allow for easy retrieval from an internet-connected device (e.g., phone or laptop) using the Methodist Office 365 OneDrive Application. With this, it's important to remember that critical policies and procedures should be backed up locally or on hard copy for employees, as well. This ensures they have proper access to them at all times and have the most up-to-date copy.

Why?

It’s important for employees to have access at all times to corporate policies in the event they are needed while the intranet or other services are down. This ensures that policies and procedures are able to be followed during an adverse event.

Where Will They Be Located?

The following location can be accessed either within the network or externally with your Methodist Network user name and password: https://nebraskamhs-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/e37396_nmhs_org/ElvQzgAAhUZFgTAa22FpZg8BDYK2wIOatts4lBOAT6YDTQ?e=205Q55

What Do I Need To Do?

1. Ensure the link location ABOVE is saved/bookmarked, or that you have quick access to it in the event it is needed.
2. Back up critical policies and procedures as a local copy or hard copy on a regular basis to ensure they are always available and up to date.
