Policies set the rules staff and vendors work to. Clear, current policies are a control in their own right and evidence of governance at the same time.
Why it matters
Auditors want policies that have been approved, communicated and are actually followed. Stale policies are a common and entirely avoidable audit finding.
Where Intelligence Group fits
- Cover access, acceptable use and incident response at a minimum
- Keep policies short enough that people read them
- Approve and review policies on a fixed cycle
- Communicate changes to staff and contractors
- Retain approval records as evidence
Where Intelligence Group fits
Intelligence Group rates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already generates, reports the maturity level it supports, and sets out the next step to lift it.
