Business Drivers for Information Security Policies

Business Drivers for Information Security Policies

It is impossible to eliminate all business risks. In fact, you would not want to. Taking risks and making a return on those risks are essential to business. How you manage that risk is what makes businesses successful. A good policy can reduce the likelihood of risk occurring or reduce its impact. A business must find a way to balance a number of competing drivers. 

Some of these drivers include:

• Cost—Keep costs low.

• Customer satisfaction—Keep customer satisfaction high.

• Compliance—Meet regulatory obligations.

• Measurement—Be self-aware and avoid surprises.
