Introduction
Security policies are documents developed and implemented by an organization to manage security related risks, meet business requirements, and comply with regulations. Security policies specify the controls and actions to be performed (what needs to be done) and are approved by senior management to ensure they are in line with the organization's overall level of risk tolerance.

Purpose
The main goal of security policies is to protect data by identifying procedures, guidelines and safeguards for configuring and managing security in the organization's environment. Security policies define the organization’s philosophy and requirements for securing information systems and related assets. They also outline how controls apply to staff, processes, and environments. Consequences for failed compliance with the policies are also addressed.

Security policies provide many benefits to organizations:

• Security vulnerabilities are identified and properly treated. This ensures security related risks are aligned with the organization's level of risk tolerance.
• A consistent approach to security reduces the likelihood and impact of a security breach.
• Efficiencies are achieved when information is safely shared within the organization, as well as with customers, partners, and vendors.
• Heightened security awareness increases the likelihood of compliance with the security policies.
