Free cyber security policy
This free cyber security policy has been created by Emma Osborn of OCSRC to help small (especially new) businesses to create their first internal policy in relation to cyber security.
This policy is identical to our basic policy, except that it includes a Docular credit, and accordingly it covers only they basics. If you need more detail, you should look at the standard and premium versions of the document.
Issues covered in the policy include: (i) the legal nature of the policy; (ii) the consequences of a breach of the policy; (ii) specific rules of behaviour relating to passwords, technical security measures, breach reporting, personal devices and software installation.
This policy is restrictive rather than permissive.
