Learn about Zeguro's custom security policy capabilities, why you might need custom policies, and how to use them within our Cyber Safety solution.
Information security policies play a foundational role in ensuring the success of a company’s cybersecurity strategies and efforts. They are living documents designed to guide business activities related to securely handling, processing, and transmitting data. Security policies answer the why and the what of cybersecurity such as 'Why is encrypting data important?' and 'What are the minimum data security controls I need?'
Zeguro Cyber Safety® secures organizations through people, process, and technology. Security policies address your business’s processes by setting rules and expectations for your employees. Last week, we expanded Zeguro’s security policy management capabilities to support completely custom policies. This follows last month’s announcement of our new PCI DSS vulnerability scanning features.
Why Would I Need Custom Security Policies?
There are a few common reasons why your organization might need custom security policies.
- You need a policy that’s not part of our template package. If you need a policy that we don’t have a template for, you can create your own and upload it.
- Our templates don’t include what you need or include what you don’t need. Security policies are not one size fits all. If our templates don’t quite meet your needs, you can take bits and pieces of our templates to build your own policy.
- You have existing policies in place. If you’ve already written an Acceptable Use Policy or any of the other policies we have templates for, simply upload them into Cyber Safety as a custom policy.
How Do I Use Custom Security Policies?
Using your own custom security policies is easy with Zeguro. You have two options: 1) you can overwrite an existing template with your own version, or 2) if you need a policy we don’t have a template for, you can add a new policy from scratch. Learn more in our help center.
Our custom security policy capabilities enable you to manage and store all your policies in one central location, so you can keep track of your entire policy revision history. This will help with audit trails for compliance purposes, and will allow you to easily download policies to share them with business partners, employees, and customers.
