Review and Improve Your IT Policy Library
Create policies for the risks that matter most to your organization.
- Your policies are out of date, disorganized, and complicated. They don’t reflect current regulations and don’t actually mitigate your organization’s current IT risks.
- Your policies are difficult to understand, aren’t easy to find, or aren’t well monitored and enforced for compliance. As a result, your employees don’t care about your policies.
- Policy issues are taking up too much of your time and distracting you from the real issues you need to address.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
A dynamic and streamlined policy approach will:
- Right-size policies to address the most critical IT risks.
- Clearly lay out a step-by-step process to complete daily tasks in compliance.
- Obtain policy adherence without having to be “the police.”
To accomplish this, the policy writer must engage their audience early to gather input on IT policies, increase policy awareness, and gain buy-in early in the process.
Impact and Result
- Develop more effective IT policies. Clearly express your policy goals and objectives, standardize the approach to employee problem solving, and write policies your employees will actually read.
- Improve risk coverage. Ensure full coverage on the risk landscape, including legal regulations, and establish a method for reporting, documenting, and communicating risks.
- Improve employee compliance. Empathize with your employees and use policy to educate, train, and enable them instead of restricting them.
