Security Policy

A security policy is a documented statement adopted by senior management to dictate the role security will play in an organization. The policies guide the organization to enact procedures that promote security and raise security awareness for individuals within the organization.

Security policy at institutions of higher education is the responsibility of the senior administration of the institution. The administration and staff conduct procedures that enforce and carry out the institution’s policy. The security policy should be comprehensive and understandable. The security procedure must be clear, definitive and match the objectives of the security policy established by the institution. A successful policy will adhere to international standards such as the ISO 17799 and British Standard 7799.
