About the Information Security Checklist
Our Information Security Checklist allows you to quickly identify any gaps in your cyber and information security program. The simple to use Excel format means you can assess and evidence your information security compliance without needing to use complicated dashboards or software. The checklist tool is accompanied by detailed guidance notes for using and editing the document.
Information Security covers all aspects of how you identify, secure, manage, use and dispose of information and physical assets. It also incorporates cyber security, acceptable use protocols, remote access, passwords and encryptions. Auditing your controls, systems and processes to ensure that your security measures are effective and appropriate is essential.
Information Security prioritises the integration of policies and procedures to document how a business approaches security. Use this checklist in conjunction with our range of Information Security Templates to stay up to date with industry standards.
