Confidence that users are complying with internal security policies still runs optimistically high at 73%, most companies aren’t checking. Fewer than half of all respondents say their organization audits and monitors user compliance with security policies (43%). And only 44% conduct compliance testing.

Security policies are the keystone to an efficient and effective information security program as they clearly define the company’s objectives and expectations. Many times, organizations implement the technical side of security without first developing the necessary documentation such as policies, procedures, standards and guidelines. With the ever growing need to protect sensitive information, new laws and compliance regulations are frequently being created. Documentation is an essential component to an organization’s information security program and it is typically the first area an auditor conducting an internal controls assessment will focus on. Because of these requirements, policies and procedures are even more critical than ever before. The lack of necessary documentation may leave a company open to various legal liabilities and in a position where the same issues can continuously arise.
