Security Policy for Compliance and Legal Requirements

D.

The security policy implemented by an organization due to compliance, regulation, or other legal requirements is commonly known as a regulatory policy. This policy is put in place to ensure that the organization meets the security requirements mandated by laws, regulations, or contractual obligations.

Regulatory policies are designed to help organizations comply with legal or regulatory requirements by defining specific security controls and procedures that must be followed. These policies may address a variety of areas such as data protection, privacy, access control, incident response, and physical security.

Advisory policies, on the other hand, are policies that provide guidance or recommendations to employees, but are not mandatory. They may be developed to address emerging threats or risks that the organization faces, or to provide guidelines for implementing security best practices.

Informative policies are policies that provide information to employees about organizational security policies, procedures, and practices. These policies may include training programs or awareness campaigns to educate employees on how to identify and respond to security threats.

System security policies are policies that address specific security requirements for a particular system or technology. These policies may include access control, encryption, or other security controls that are specific to the system in question.

In summary, a regulatory policy is a security policy that is put in place by an organization to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, while advisory, informative, and system security policies serve different purposes.
