A company is drafting its initial set of IT security documents. Among them, there is a need to establish a document that offers general advice and recommended practices for users to follow when dealing with company IT resources. Which type of security document should the company develop to fulfill this requirement?
Guidelines are recommendations and best practices for users to follow. They are not strictly enforced but are designed to provide general advice on how to use IT resources securely. An organization would develop guidelines to offer staff general security advice. Policies, on the other hand, are mandatory rules that must be followed, and standards are specific low-level mandatory controls. Procedures are detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform specific tasks.
