Your company’s information is extremely important, and writing an information security policy is paramount to keeping it secure. You will need to figure out how management views security, get a good framework, and then adapt it to the company. Decide on your mandates, sub-policies, and supplementary documents. Then you can design a policy with all the crucial elements, taking great care when writing and editing to ensure it is strong.
