Information security policies are essential for tackling organisations biggest threats…it’s people!!

Information security policies are arguably the most important part of an organisation’s defence. They are a list of instructions for staff to follow in various scenarios, covering a range of topics, such as acceptable passwords or mobile working.

Everything an organisation does to stay secure, from implementing state-of-the-art technological defences to sophisticated physical barriers, relies on people using them properly.

Effective Policy Management ensures that your employees understand what is being asked from them and how they should comply with company regulations.

Security Policy Management

How can we help?

Our Governance Risk and Compliance consultants will be able to guide your organisation through the development of a uniformed style of Policy that will:
  • Provide a framework for governance.

    Policy paints a picture of behaviour, values, and ethics that define the culture and expected behaviour of the organization; without policy, there are no consistent rules and the organization goes in every direction.
  • Identify and treat risk.

    The existence of a policy means a risk has been identified and is of enough significance to have a formal policy written which details control to manage the risk.
  • Implement a management system.

    A central repository for polices that are in effect, how it was communicated, who read it, who was trained on it, who attested to it, what exceptions were granted, and how policy violation and resolution was monitored and managed
  • Define compliance.

    Policies document compliance in how the organization meets requirements and obligations from regulators, contracts, and voluntary commitments.

Without a policy, there is no written standard for acceptable and unacceptable conduct — an organization can quickly become something it never intended.
