The IT Security Risk Assessment Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in the United States, establishing a standardized approach to identifying and managing information security risks. This policy has become increasingly important due to evolving cyber threats and stricter regulatory requirements across different states and industries. The document addresses the need for regular, systematic evaluation of IT security risks, compliance with federal and state regulations, and implementation of appropriate control measures. Organizations implement this policy to demonstrate due diligence in protecting sensitive data, maintaining regulatory compliance, and ensuring business continuity.
