SANS Security Policy TemplatesSANS (short for SysAdmin, Audit, Network, and Security) is a private company that specializes in information security practices and training. (“SANS Institute”) As a resource for people attending training courses, the SANS community developed a collection of common security policies that are available for no cost to use as a template for IS policy development. (“SANS – Information Security Policy Templates”) According to the site located at www.sans.org/security-resources/policies, the resource is treated as a living document as policies are continually added, updated, and retired. The policies are classified into five main categories (“SANS – Information Security Policy Templates”):
Each template is provided in a downloadable format that provides for easy revision. As an example, review of the Web Application Security Policy template outlines the policy for how security assessments will be performed, who can perform them, what tools are approved for use, distribution of results, and remediation responsibilities.
