Security assessments are focused on determining if information system security controls are correctly implemented, operating as intended, and are producing the desired level of security. Without Security assessments, the potential exists for information systems to not be as secure as intended or desired.

This Security Assessment Policy Template includes the following sections:

• Default policy statements that define what the enterprise must do.
• Default procedures that define how the enterprise must do it.
• Baseline recommendations to customize the template to individual enterprise requirements.
