INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY WRITING AND DESIGN SERVICES

Information Secuity Policy Guide
An Information Security Policy is the cornerstone of your Information Security Program, the foundation of effective cyber security practice and the most critical element of reducing organizational risk and liability.   
Writing an Information Security Policy that meets your specific needs and will protect you, your employees and your business can be overwhelming and time consuming exercise.    
Birch Cline understands each component of an effective Information Security Policy. We will utilize our extensive experience to craft policy according to your business needs that you can rely upon to guide technology decisions and minimize your technology risk and liability.
Don't trust a template or "off the shelf" policy to be the cornerstone of your organization's information security program.  

Let Birch Cline help you create policy and practice you can trust.

Define Information Security Policy

define

Your Information Security Policy should define a framework of guidelines under which your organization should operate. It should define the expected behavior and procedures your users, vendors, management teams, and technology administrators should follow.

Birch Cline will understand your specific business requirements and define policy based on protecting your specific organizational needs.   

Information Security Policy to Protect

protect

Your Information Security Policy will protect you, your employees, your customers, your sensitive and ultimately your business. If you are required to maintain compliance like HIPAA, PCI-DSS or CJIS your security policy will play a pivotal role not only in becoming compliant but potential the level of liability your organization holds.

Protect your people, your data and your business with a policy you can trust.

 

InformationSecurity Policy Enforcement

enforce

Your policy will ultimately define the methods in which the people, processes and technology prevent, detect and recover damage to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your critical data and systems. And unless you have a policy appropriate for your business needs and requirements, the enforcement of those processes, rules and regulations will a challenge from both a resource and legal perspective.
