The Illinois Electronic Acceptable Use Policy and Agreement (IEA UPA) is a set of guidelines and restrictions governing the use of electronic information and communication systems for the State of Illinois. The policy applies to all Illinois state employees, contractors, and other users of the state's electronic information systems. The IEA UPA outlines the responsibilities of users, including proper use of networks and systems, maintaining security, acceptable use of software, and protecting confidential information. It also outlines the consequences for non-compliance, such as disciplinary action or legal action. The IEA UPA is divided into two distinct documents: the Policy Document and the Agreement Document. The Policy Document outlines the requirements of the IEA UPA, including the responsibilities of users and the consequences for non-compliance. The Agreement Document is a document that must be signed and agreed to by all users of Illinois electronic information systems. The IEA UPA also covers the use of specific systems, such as the Illinois Statewide Network, the Illinois State Telephone System, and the Illinois State Data Center. These documents outline the requirements for using these systems, such as the proper use of passwords, maintenance of security, and the protection of confidential information.
