- In business, a security policy is a document that states in writing how a company plans to protect the company's physical and
information technology (IT) assets. A security policy is often considered to be a "living document", meaning that the document
is never finished, but is continuously updated as technology and employee requirements change. A company's security
policy may include an acceptable use policy, a description of how the company plans to educate its employees about
protecting the company's assets, an explanation of how security measurements will be carried out and enforced, and a
procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of the security policy to ensure that necessary corrections will be made.
