An organization's security policy is its basic plan to protect data, devices and its network. The key is to determine what data and devices are the most sensitive and work backward to data and devices that are less critical. Among many other elements, security policies cover access rights of employees and outsiders, how to handle mobile workers, procedures for quickly terminating access rights of people who are fired or quit and security maintenance procedures such as updates and patches.
