Three Major Types of Information Security Policies

Learning Objective: Recognize the three major types of information security policy and know what goes into each type.

The NIST published Generally Accepted Principles and Practices for Securing Information Technology Systems (NIST 800-14) in 1996. 

For many years government agencies used NIST 800-14 as a source for developing information security policies (program, issue-specific, systems-specific, and etc.).  The guide was also to prepare for contingencies, incident handling, and training.
