Information security policies are your first line of defense
Question: How important are information security policies other than for compliance?
Answer:
: Information security policies are your first line of defense. They serve as guiding lights to help an organization adopt a robust security posture and demonstrate management's commitment towards information security. Compliance should not even be viewed as a reason for having these policies in place.
Information security policies should be positioned towards specific goals that support your business objectives. Ensure that the policies cover a wide range of aspects in organizational, operational and technical information security. They should also be reviewed on an ongoing basis, as threats evolve constantly in today's ever-changing environment. Train your employees on these policies to ensure that awareness is high, and finally, remember that policies are only as good as their enforcement.
