What is part of an effective IT ethics policy?

An effective IT ethics policy establishes guidelines for responsible technology use (such as acceptable use of systems, data privacy, and confidentiality) and specifies consequences for unethical or inappropriate behavior. This ensures accountability, transparency, and consistency in IT-related decision-making and actions.

Option B: Too narrow—security practices are part of IT policies, but ethics policies emphasize conduct and decision-making.

Option C: While training scenarios are useful, they are supplemental, not the foundation of an ethics policy.

Option D: Password requirements are part of security policies, not ethics policies.

Thus, an effective IT ethics policy must include guidelines for responsible technology use and consequences for misuse.
