Your organization operates in multiple states within the U.S. and is planning to update its Information Security Policies. As the Security Manager, what should be your FIRST step to ensure that the updated policies comply with varying state-specific cybersecurity regulations?
Immediately revise the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to reflect generic best practices.
Consult with an external cybersecurity firm for a standard policy template.
Review current local and regional cybersecurity laws applicable to the states where the organization operates.
Conduct a gap analysis between current information security practices and updated security policy drafts.
When an organization operates in multiple local and regional jurisdictions, it must ensure that its policies comply with all relevant cybersecurity regulations. The correct first step is to review current local and regional laws to understand specific requirements before updating any policies. Conducting a gap analysis, though important, would follow the initial review of applicable laws. Consulting with an external cybersecurity firm or revising the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) would come after acknowledging all jurisdictional legal requirements.
