Below is a password policy we would suggest our customers use and send to their staff to ensure password compliance.
As you are aware, the security of our company’s information is of the utmost importance. In order to ensure the safety and security of our sensitive information, we have implemented a password security policy that meets Cyber Security Plus standards.
We ask that all staff adhere to the following guidelines when creating and managing passwords:
- Passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters in length and contain a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Passwords must not contain easily guessable information, such as personal information or common words.
- Passwords must not be reused.
- Two-factor authentication must be used for all sensitive accounts.
- Users are prohibited from sharing their passwords with others or writing them down.
We also want to remind you that regular password audits will be conducted to ensure compliance with this policy.
As a reminder, please make sure that all the passwords you have for the company’s accounts and devices comply with the standards outlined above. In case you have any questions or issues, please reach out to the IT department for guidance.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our company’s information secure.
