Build clear, enforceable IT policies and governance frameworks that support compliance and reduce risk.
Integrity Technology Solutions has worked with many different businesses over the years, and a trend in our risk assessments has emerged. Many organizations either lack essential policies or their policies lack embellishment in key areas. Those policy deficiencies lead to security issues that put organizations at risk.
Integrity offers security risk assessments. These go beyond simply identifying technical issues. We also thoroughly evaluate your administrative policies. And, we offer guidance on how to improve them to maximize employee effectiveness as a part of a secure organization.
Good policies remain essential for strong security. That’s why we developed our administrative policies and controls services. Through these, we can review your policies and help you bolster their efficacy in your organization.
Comprehensive policies are hard to come by, but any organization that puts time and energy into the policies below will see advantages to their digital security.
Your WISP outlines the overall approach you take toward protecting sensitive information. It builds the framework for identifying risks, implementing safeguards, and maintaining security measures.
In short, it forces you to look exactly at how you handle sensitive information, and it enables you to build practices that keep that information safe from reception to storage to communication.
This policy sets the rules for protecting digital assets, access control, and responding to security incidents. It shows you how you analyze and control your digital assets. It determines how you allow people to access your systems and the information they hold, and it regulates how your teams respond in the case of an incident.
This policy concerns how you utilize data. Data privacy applies to both digital communications and digital storage. Do you keep client or customer records? If so, how do you store them? Can you share that information upon request?
Answering these questions is paramount to data privacy, and the importance is multiplied in regulated industries. Acceptable use policies can ensure that you stay compliant with rulesets like HIPAA and GDPR.
An incident response plan sets a precise blueprint that your organization can follow in the face of an event. That event could range from a natural disaster to a security breach, and it outlines all of the key players, their responsibilities, and specific steps expected in the face of each event.
Among those rules, the plan should clearly outline how you report the incident and inform stakeholders.
Many different emergencies could face your organization. In each scenario, you have key players that need to be informed so they can take the right actions. As simple as it might sound, building these responses starts with emergency contact processes. These show everyone in the organization who to contact in an emergency and how to do it. This basic policy can get the ball rolling quickly and allow you to respond to an emergency much faster.
Every employee needs to know the policies and expectations before them. Your employee handbook is designed to provide that information. The addendum can cover cybersecurity best practices. This shows employees how to handle data and digital tools in order to bolster your overall security outlook.
We can help you be more secure and compliant through administrative policies and controls assessments. Paired with customized solutions, professional consulting, and ongoing support, we provide everything you need to seize your technology and get the most from it.
