Information Security Policy

An information security policy sets requirements for protecting information and systems from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. It covers responsibilities and controls relevant to the organisation.

By SmallHRTools · How we write definitions

Example

Employees must use approved authentication methods, report suspected phishing and store personnel records only in authorised systems.
