Abstract: With the growth of technologies, interconnected systems and digitalization, establishing an effective information security policy becomes a crucial step for organizations toward protecting their data and information asset from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and data breaches. To ensure the policy is both practical and widely adopted, it should be well-structured, aligned with the organization’s business objectives and clearly communicated. The key steps to endorse and implement effective information security policy include engaging senior management to help prioritize information security across the organization, align with business goals and risk management strategy, communicate and enforce the policy, and conduct regular review and update. This research paper is going to define the information security policy and how to be effective. Also, it will provide the characteristics of successful information security policy, the associated responsibilities with the entities in the organization and the lifecycle of this policy.
Keywords: Information Security Policy, policy lifecycle, Policy Development, Policy Adoption, publication, responsibilities, characteristics.
