In today’s business, IT security is one of the organisation’s most important risk points.

At least one in five businesses fall victim to electronic attacks each year. It is easy to see why: as vital information flows easily between an organisation, its partners, customers and suppliers – setting up a number of points at which an information breach can occur.

It is also clear that most of these breaches occur within the organisation.

Research findings pointing to employees as most likely to cause IT security breaches strongly suggests that repeated exposure to IT security policy – and closing off options for policy ignorance – is key to maximising compliance.

PolicyPoint provides a vital step in building an effective IT security policy. We can help you draft a robust, comprehensive IT security policy – or bring your existing policy to life by ensuring that employees and stakeholders truly – and demonstrably - understand what they must do to comply.

As a result, your organisation can be confident that staff, partners and others have full awareness, when accessing your data, of their security obligations. This reduces both the risk of inadvertent breaches occurring, as well as helping reduce your exposure to the consequences – both regulatory and reputational – of an information security breach.
