Information Security Policies

It is important that the business continuity and disaster recovery initiatives are integral to the culture of the organization. Ensuring the long term future of the organization should be part and parcel of the operational framework. Ensuring continuity should be everyones responsibility.

For this reason, it is important that business continuity is included within the organization's information security policies. The requirements within should be explicit.

Fortunately, you do have to re-invent the wheel in this respect.... we have identified a set of policies which are fully inclusive of business continuity and disaster recovery issues. Furthermore, they embrace the requirements for continuity which are specified within the ISO17799 security standard.

The policies themselves are described on the following two web sites:

• RUsecure Information Security Policies
  This site is dedicated to the policies, a copy of which can be downloaded for evaluation
• Information Security Policies and Standards
  This is a generic site covering all issues surrounding the development and deployment of security policies within an organization
