What is an Information Security Policy?
An information security policy is a documented set of rules, practices, and procedures designed to protect your company’s digital and physical assets. These policies define how data is managed, accessed, and protected—and by whom. They are foundational to risk management, compliance, and your organization’s ability to respond to cyber threats.
Â
Why Does a Company Need Cybersecurity Policies?
Security policies aren’t optional anymore—they’re a business imperative.
-
Regulatory compliance: FTC Safeguards Rule, HIPAA, GLBA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, and others mandate written security policies.
-
Cyber insurance: Providers increasingly require formalized policies before underwriting.
-
Vendor and client trust: Your partners expect (and require) security maturity.
-
Incident readiness: Clear policies accelerate response and limit damage when the worst happens.
Spoiler alert: Doing nothing isn’t cheaper in the long run.

The Cost of Inadequate Information Policies
Let’s talk stakes. Poor or missing security policies don’t just put your data at risk—they put your business at risk. Consequences include:
Â
Regulatory fines (six to seven figures are common)
Civil and class-action lawsuits from customers and employees
Loss of business due to failed audits or vendor scrutiny
Cyber insurance denial or premium hikes
Personal liability or even prison time in extreme cases (think: negligence)
