Security Policy
A Security Policy is a formal document that outlines an organization's approach to protecting its information and assets. It defines the rules and procedures for maintaining security, including how to handle sensitive data, access controls, and incident response. The policy serves as a guideline for employees and helps ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Implementing a security policy helps organizations mitigate risks associated with cyber threats and data breaches. It typically includes sections on user responsibilities, acceptable use of technology, and consequences for violations. A well-defined security policy fosters a culture of security awareness among employees and promotes the overall safety of the organization’s information systems.
