security policies

Organizational safety guidelines

Security policies are the formal rules and guidelines an organization establishes to protect its information, systems, and physical assets from threats.

These documents typically specify who can access what resources, how data should be handled, and what procedures must be followed to maintain safety and compliance.

The company's security policies require two-factor authentication for all remote access.

Security policies range from broad organizational standards to specific technical requirements, and they form the foundation for consistent enforcement of protective measures across an enterprise.
