Security policies are the documented standards that serve as the foundation for any organization’s information security program. These documents reflect the intent of senior executives and communicate the organization’s specific goals for protecting the organization’s information. While policies on a web portal will not directly stop a cyber attack, the guidance documented in these guides gives direction to an organization implementing an architecture for defense.

One of the resources that AuditScripts.com provides are information security policy templates that organization’s can use as the foundation of their own information security programs. We have created proven security policy templates mapped to standards such as the CIS Critical Security Controls, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27002, the NIST 800 series, and many others. Certainly every organization will want to customize these policies to be specific to their organization. However these industry-proven templates will help organizations to ensure they have a solid baseline for their security efforts.
