Policies and Procedures

Security Policies and Procedures are the foundation of an effective information security program. In the absence of formal policies and procedures, the organization´s current and past activities become the de facto standard. The goal of information security policies and procedures is to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information resources. Implementing policies and procedures enables the organization to reduce the risk of unauthorized and/or unintended use of information assets and resources.

A security policy communicates the principles used to develop an information security program, establishes goals and metrics, and assigns responsibilities for execution. Procedures include detailed actions required to successfully complete the tasks driven by policy. In addition to documenting security policies and procedures organizations should regularly assess and update their policies to reflect changes in their business, technology, and risk profile. Periodic policy and procedure assessments, reviews, and updates are regarded as security "best-practices" and required by many regulatory agencies.
