As businesses and technologies grow and evolve, it's important IT security policies do, too. Follow these five best practices to ensure policies are fresh and relevant.
IT security policies are to the enterprise what rules are to children. Initially, they force you to recoil and complain, but as you grow older, you begin to value their importance.
When done correctly, security policies codify the basic contracts and procedures needed to ensure a company runs safely and efficiently. Well-executed security policies power a company's success by providing a concise statement of management intent. They are a how-to, quick-start guide for an organization's security program. IT security policies help ensure employees know what is expected of them and executives have clear guidelines and requirements.
