Re: Where to find a example security policy?

It is a little dated now, but one good reference is provided by NIST, thanks to
us taxpayers.

This does address some of the initial risk assessment which Maddy mentioned,
which is of course a reasonable thing to do if you want to produce policy
which is useful for guiding your security program.  If on the other hand, you
just want to produce a nice document which so you can show the auditors
that you have a policy, the fastest way to do it is to either buy a
commercial template, or to use RFC 2196.

Good luck.....Tommy

I have not gone through the recommendations that you guys put up but I
am just wondering if there should be a prior phase of security risk
analysis and assessment before the sample security policy is even looked
at.
