A Security Policy
A Benchmark for Progress Measurement
Defines acceptable use
A security policy reflects the philosophy and strategy of management with regard to information security. If the policies are correctly formulated and carefully integrated into your employment contracts or handbook, then any transgressions against the policy, such as surfing porn on the company's network, can be dealt with according to a pre-established agreement that your employee has signed off on.
Consistency
A well-implemented policy helps to ensure consistency in your security systems by giving a directive and clearly assigning responsibilities. Equally important, stipulating the consequences of failing to fulfill those responsibilities.
A Guide to Information Security
A well-designed policy can become an IT administrator's Bible. Your IP network security policy will ensure that machines are always installed in a part of the network that offers a level of security appropriate to the role of the machine and the information it hosts.
Define Acceptable Use
By clearly defining what can and cannot be done by users, by pre-establishing security standards, and by ensuring that all users are educated to these standards, the company places the onus of responsibility on users who can no longer plead 'ignorant' in case of transgression of the security policy.
Ensures Security Staff are Backed by Management
The security policy, as a directive from top management, empowers your staff to enforce decisions that may not be popular amongst system users. Armed with a policy, your security administrators can do their jobs without having to continuously justify themselves.
