What is a Security Policy?

Security policies are a special type of documented business rule. Security Policies essentially provide the most important and most frequently referenced source of instructions detailing how organizations and workers should protect both information and information systems.

Security policies these days are important reference documents for internal audits and for the resolution of legal disputes about management’s due diligence. Security policies can act as a clear statement of management’s intent, and thereby reduces management’s potential liability. Policy statements can serve as evidence of management’s intention to safeguard proprietary information. Security policies can also serve as evidence of internal quality control processes. In this regard, not only can an information security policy statement give a business partner sufficient confidence to disclose confidential material, but a policy statement can also assist with an ISO 9000 quality control certification process.
