CIS 462 Week 4 Assignment 1 – IT Security Policy Framework
Establishing an effective Information Technology Security Policy Framework is critical in the development of a comprehensive security program. Additionally, there are many security frameworks that organizations commonly reference when developing their security programs. Review the security frameworks provided by NIST (SP 800-53), ISO / IEC 27000 series, and COBIT. Assume that you have been hired as a consultant by a medium-sized insurance organization and have been asked to draft an IT SECURITY POLICY Framework.
You may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

U.S. laws and regulations, and how organizations can align their policies and controls with the applicable regulations.
