Email security

Organizations rely heavily on the use of information technology (IT) products and services to run their day-to-day activities. Ensuring the security of these products and services is of the utmost importance for the success of the organization. Having a security policy that address acceptable use of these resources is an essential aspect of IT governance and management.

Follow guidelines in the (NIST.SP.800-12r1) document to develop a mock Computer/Internet Security Policy. Your policy document must be a 3-5 page stand-alone document that can be reviewed, maintained and distributed to employees, staff or other stakeholders when necessary.

· 2) a definition of technology covered;

· 3) a confidentiality of data statement;

· 4) Incident response handling procedures;

· 5) Responsibilities (monitoring, reporting violations, penalties for violations, etc.)

· 6) a policy review schedule
