SECURITY POLICIES & PROCEDURES
A firm’s information security policies and procedures create the roadmap for implementing security measures to protect its data assets. Every firm needs to be aware of the sensitivity of its data and its responsibilities for protecting it. Effective information security policies and procedures set the security tone for the entire organisation and make personnel aware of what is expected of them.
EDGENETIC consultants develop information security policies and procedures in line with ISO 27001, an internationally accepted standard. Policies designed in such a manner support the frameworks required for all information security purposes.
The EDGENETIC Process For Security Policy And Procedures Development Services Includes:
- Understanding business objectives and all compliance obligations.
- Defined areas of alignment of security requirements with business processes.
- Development of the firm’s policies and procedures.
- Defining periodic policy tuning and use case evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions about Data Privacy Security
What is an incident response policy?
An Incident response plan or policy is a process you create before you experience a cyberattack. This is so that your team has a procedure to follow when you do experience a data breach. EDGENETIC follows the CREST Cybersecurity Incident Response process which is broken down into 3 phases: preparation, response, and follow up. Having a breach plan gives you the confidence to quickly nullify any threat to your data privacy security.
Why is data privacy security important?
Although it has always been important, the implications and need for higher security are coming into play now that technology is indispensable to everyday life. Using apps, browsing websites, and shopping online are all examples of how your data will be stored and managed online. For organisations today, the threat of cyber theft is a pertinent one. Having comprehensive data privacy plans in place can reduce and mitigate the risks of such events.
