Policy Review

Everyone gets a login when they join an organization- what happens when they leave? Does everyone share the password to the company’s general inquiry email account? Can I connect my personal laptop to the company network? A cybersecurity policy review is a structured evaluation of an organization’s existing rules, procedures, and guidelines that govern how digital assets and sensitive information are protected. The process examines areas such as data privacy, access controls, password standards, incident response, and employee training to ensure they align with current best practices and regulatory requirements. By identifying gaps, outdated measures, or unclear responsibilities, the review helps strengthen resilience against cyber threats. Ultimately, it provides a roadmap for improving security posture, reducing risk, and fostering a culture of accountability and awareness across the organization, as well as ensuring leadership has clear, actionable guidance for making informed security decisions.
