security policies and procedures

Security policies and procedures are guidelines and rules organizations establish to protect their computer systems, data, and networks from threats. Policies set the overall goals and rules, like who can access certain information and how to handle security risks. Procedures are specific steps to follow in day-to-day activities, such as creating strong passwords or reporting suspicious activity. Together, they ensure everyone understands their role in maintaining security, reducing the risk of data breaches or cyberattacks, and keeping organizational information safe.
