A security administrator is creating a document that provides non-mandatory recommendations and best practices for employees on how to securely handle sensitive company data. Which of the following control documents is the administrator creating?
Procedure
Policy
Guideline
Standard
The correct answer is a guideline. A security guideline is a document that provides recommendations and best practices; it is not mandatory. In contrast, a policy is a high-level statement of intent from management that is mandatory. A standard is a mandatory rule that supports a policy, often specifying technologies or configurations. A procedure is a detailed, step-by-step set of instructions for performing a specific task, which is also mandatory.
