Creating and enforcing the first policy in an IT Asset Management (ITAM) program is crucial for laying the foundation for effective asset management. Here are a few key policies that are commonly recommended as the first step:

Asset Inventory Policy: This policy defines how assets are identified, recorded, and tracked. It includes guidelines on what information needs to be captured for each asset, such as asset type, serial number, location, and user assignment.

Procurement Policy: This policy outlines the process for acquiring new IT assets, including approval workflows, vendor selection criteria, and budget considerations.

Usage Policy: This policy defines how IT assets should be used by employees, including acceptable use, security requirements, and user responsibilities.

Maintenance and Support Policy: This policy ensures that all IT assets are regularly maintained and supported, including guidelines for software updates, hardware maintenance, and support procedures.

Disposal Policy: This policy outlines the process for disposing of IT assets, ensuring that data is securely wiped and environmental regulations are followed.
