What is an Information Security Policy?
An Information Security Policy documents the rules and responsibilities a business uses to protect information and the systems that handle it. For a small business, it should be understandable, practical and relevant to the way the organisation actually works.
Why document information security?
Small businesses increasingly rely on email, cloud software, customer records, laptops, mobile devices and online accounts. Writing down the expected approach helps turn informal habits into consistent business processes and gives staff, contractors and management a clearer reference point.
