Re: Security language in all IT job descriptions

I'd argue that what you are proposing should be included in pretty much any job description.  We don't have anything like this in place, but we are trying to make an effort to educate all employees that information security is EVERYONE's responsibility. What you are suggesting sounds like a good step in the right direction.

Hello all,

Does anyone have any language in IT (or all employee) job descriptions that requires information security responsibility? We want to add some language to hold people accountable in job descriptions that translate into performance evaluation elements.

If you do, is it the same language for all job descriptions or do you have separate language by job type i.e. system admins are required to patch servers?

We are discussing ideas such as:

High degree of confidentiality and integrity

Coordinate and take direction from security standards

Use security approved tools and resources

Follow onboarding process for new services and projects

Communicate and report security incidents and issues to management

Thanks in advance,

Andrea
