Example Security Policies
29/03/2025
PCI DSS Policy
I developed this policy for a fictitious company (SnowBe Online), to ensure compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. The process involved creating detailed security measures for protecting sensitive payment card information across various transaction methods, including online, phone, and in-person. I identified key roles and responsibilities, established protocols for encryption and data access, and designed employee training programs for those handling cardholder data. By incorporating thorough vulnerability scans, firewall configurations, and access control protocols, I built a policy that safeguards both customer data and organizational reputation from potential breaches.
Security Maturity Policy
I developed a Security Maturity Policy intending to evaluate and continuously improve an organization's cybersecurity posture. I utilized industry-standard frameworks such as BSIMM and NIST to structure bi-annual security maturity assessments, benchmarking, and continuous security improvements. I also integrated security awareness training for all employees and specialized sessions for security and IT teams to address emerging threats. Furthermore, the policy includes a focus on ensuring third-party vendors meet SnowBe's security standards. This policy emphasizes a proactive, measurable approach to security, fostering a cycle of ongoing improvement to address the evolving threat landscape
