IT and Cyber Policies - Cyber Charlie

IT and Cyber Policies are critical for all organisations regardless of their size!

Employee Policies

IT and Cyber Policies targeted at your employees is essential for their understanding of what is acceptable, and what is not acceptable use of the computers, communication tools and system you have. It can also identify the acceptable standards of sharing data. This provides the employee an understanding, with training of course, and allows the organisation to align these policies to existing HR policies to hold staff accountable.

Data Sensitivity Policies

Depending on the sensitivity of the data you hold, data classifications policies are important for identify, tagging the sensitivity of data. This can also be linked with DLP (Data Loss Protection) technology to automated and ensure data is shared correctly, or by only authorised persons.

Incident Response

Incident response plans and policies are often overlooked but are there for an organisation to know how to respond when there is a security incident or data breach. These plans ensure you can respond quickly and mitigate damage. Without a plan, often a security incident can go on longer and increase the amount of damage or data stolen.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

This is a very important document any organisation should have and keep up to date. What do you do in the event of a disaster? This could be something as simple as a fire at your office and not able to gain entry, to total loss of the building or could be a cyber-attack, such as a ransomware attack. How does you organisation become operational again, keep being operational or in the event of natural disaster or cyber-attack, how do you get your systems back online as quickly as possible and what are the organisation and operational priorities. Not having this type of planning, means in the event of disaster your waste valuable time making these decisions and often can be incorrect decisions adding further delay to you being fully operational again.
