Enterprise IT Policies

Enterprise Policies articulate the rules and regulations of state government regarding information technology. These policies determine the type of activities that are approved for both agencies and employees. The Enterprise Architecture framework is constructed of several interrelated components, including policies that support the business process and functions.

COT administers the Enterprise Policy development, review and approval process. Enterprise IT policies are presented to the Commonwealth Technology Council for compliance by all appropriate agencies.
