Data protection – determines what measures are taken to protect personal data and sensitive company information, such as customer data or company trade secrets.
Access control – determines how access to various data and systems is managed to ensure that only authorized users can access important information.
Information encryption – if necessary, it is indicated how the information is encrypted to prevent it from being read or damaged if it is stolen or lost.
Incident response – determines the action plan in cases where information security breaches occur, such as attacks, data theft, or system damage.
Training and education – involves educating and training employees on information security issues to ensure that all employees in the organization know what to do to protect data.
Responsibility and monitoring – determines who is responsible for adhering to the information security policy and how it is monitored.
This policy is essential when handling sensitive or personal information and helps maintain trust by preventing data leaks and other security issues.
