turvakäytäntö

Turvakäytäntö, meaning security policy in English, refers to a set of rules and guidelines established by an organization to protect its information assets and systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It outlines the acceptable and unacceptable behavior of individuals within the organization regarding information security. A comprehensive turvakäytäntö typically covers various aspects, including data classification, access control, password management, incident response, physical security, and the acceptable use of company resources like computers and networks. The purpose of a turvakäytäntö is to create a secure environment, minimize risks, and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. It serves as a foundation for all security-related activities and training within an organization, aiming to foster a security-conscious culture among employees. Regular review and updates of the turvakäytäntö are essential to adapt to evolving threats and technological changes.
