Security starts with understanding the underlying business and regulatory requirements. Security policy is the means by which these requirements are translated into operations, directives, and consistent behaviors. We regularly assist organizations in developing security policies. For organizations that already have policies in place, we often assist in updating those policies. In addition, we frequently assist clients in identifying where their current security practices, policies, or procedures are at variance with best industry practice.
Our IT security policies are informed by our mastery of pertinent standards and regulations, including:
One of the cornerstones of operating an enterprise securely, regardless of size or industry, is a practical set of IT security policies to serve as guiding principles.
Regulations like HIPAA, the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flag Rules, Sarbanes Oxley, PCI DSS, and state privacy laws1 (like Massachusetts Security Breaches, Illinois Personal Information Protection Act, or California Civil Code) are forcing organizations to formalize and/or document their security policies.
SystemExperts has developed a set of IT security policies derived from the requirements implied by the controls specified in ISO 27002 (17799) Code of practice for information security management. We have organized the policies to be comprehensive without being repetitive or redundant.
We have done the work of extracting these requirements and organizing them into a workable form so that you can customize them to fit the needs of your organization. They are intended as a jumping off point. Tailoring these policies to reflect the way your business actually operates should be much faster and far less costly than starting from scratch.
This material is derived from actual policies being used by a number of companies. You will appreciate the simplicity and straightforward approach.
We are skilled at developing business-sensitive policies and avoiding policy overload.
