The Security Audit Policy serves as a critical governance document for organizations operating in the United States, establishing standardized procedures for evaluating security controls and ensuring regulatory compliance. This policy becomes necessary when organizations need to systematically assess their security posture, demonstrate compliance with various regulations (such as SOX, HIPAA, or PCI DSS), and maintain consistent audit practices. The document typically includes audit schedules, methodologies, roles and responsibilities, and reporting requirements, while taking into account both federal and state-specific regulatory requirements.
