Information Security Policies, Procedures, and Standards Ebook

Information security policies, procedures, and standards turn governance expectations into repeatable rules and operating practices. This ebook provides a practitioner oriented blueprint for developing security documentation that can be adapted to the needs of a specific organization.

The reference draws on NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, COBIT, HIPAA, and PCI DSS and covers terminology, policy development concepts, methods, suggested document structures, examples, checklists, sample policies and procedures, and applicable standards.

Rather than treating policy documents as generic templates, the book explains how and why security procedures are developed and implemented, helping practitioners create clear documentation suited to their own organizational environment.
