Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of a security policy?
To detail specific incident response procedures
To define access control lists for network resources
To specify encryption standards for data at rest and in transit
To provide a high-level framework for an organization's approach to security
A security policy is a high-level document that outlines an organization's approach to protecting its assets, including data, systems, and personnel. It establishes the framework for security controls and procedures, defining roles, responsibilities, and expected behavior. While security policies may include specific guidelines and procedures, their primary purpose is to provide overarching guidance and direction for the organization's security posture. Incident response plans, access control lists, and encryption standards are examples of more specific security controls that are typically guided by the security policy but are not the primary purpose of the policy itself.
