Information Security Policy
Company policy
An information security policy an auditor can follow and a staff member can actually obey, including what happens when someone makes a mistake.
The whole document
Every page as it was built, in order. All the wording, figures and tables were written for this example, so the structure can be judged on real content.
What makes this document work
Reporting is made safe
One hour to report, and a line saying you will not be punished for reporting honestly, which is what actually gets incidents reported.
Responsibilities are a table
Board, risk, managers, everyone, and the IT provider. No one can claim it was someone else.
It separates mistakes from misconduct
Sharing an account is misconduct, an honest error reported quickly is training. Stated on purpose.
Questions people ask
What sections does a policy need?
Purpose, scope, the rules, responsibilities, what happens on a breach, and when it is reviewed.
How long should a policy be?
Short enough to be read. Two to four pages beats twenty that nobody opens.
Who approves a policy?
Usually the board or executive, with a named owner who maintains it. Both are on the cover of this example.
How often should it be reviewed?
Every twelve months, and straight after a significant incident or a change in law.
