Strict security policy interpretation provides better security than a less strict interpretation.
A good security policy, whether it is a strict security policy or the less struct policy, should enhance the overall security of an organization. A security policy should help the organization to pre-empt any attacks on the organization’s security. All this is done to ensure the organization is adequately prepared and put in place measures for auditing and ensure compliance requirements are followed, thus increasing the organization’s operations efficiency.
Due to an increased level of attacks, it is essential for an organization o put in place measures to manage any potential attacks; both forms of security policies will depend on the size and operations of a given organization. Some organization may work well when strict security policy interpretation is used while other organization only requires the use of less strict interpretation. In many organizations, security policies are mainly put in place to put in place guidelines that may include acceptable ways if using company assets, personnel security, physical access. Compliance requirements have driven the importance of security policies in an organization as the policies are not written just for the sake. Security policies are also put in place to support the mission and vision of th organizations as the security personnel is required to understand the needs of the business fully.
