An information security policy is a set of guidelines and rules that outline how an organization manages and protects its sensitive information and data assets. It serves as a framework for establishing and maintaining effective security controls and practices to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. The policy typically includes provisions for data classification, access controls, incident response, risk management, employee responsibilities, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. It is designed to protect the organization's information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, and disruption.
