A Security Policy is a high-level document that outlines an organisation’s principles and objectives regarding security. It serves as a framework for establishing security measures and practices across the organisation.
Key Components:
- Purpose and scope of the policy.
- Roles and responsibilities for implementing security measures.
- Guidelines for data protection, access control and incident response.
- Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
- Procedures for regular review and updates to the policy.
A well-defined security policy helps organisations create a culture of security awareness among employees, ensuring that everyone understands their role in maintaining security.
