Security Policy and Governance Development
Build security policies and governance frameworks that your team will actually follow.
Inforsys LLC helps government agencies and enterprise organizations develop comprehensive security policies, procedures, and governance frameworks that meet regulatory requirements while reflecting how your organization actually operates. We create practical documentation that guides decision-making, establishes accountability and demonstrates compliance without becoming shelf-ware that nobody uses.
Effective security governance isn’t about creating the longest policy manual. It’s about establishing clear roles, responsibilities and processes that make security part of your organizational culture. We work collaboratively with your team to understand your business processes, technical environment and regulatory obligations. The result is customized policies and governance structures that satisfy auditors, enable consistent security practices and evolve as your organization grows and threats change.

Why do we need formal security policies?
Security policies establish expectations, guide decision-making and demonstrate due diligence to auditors and regulators. They provide a foundation for consistent security practices across your organization and protect you legally by showing you’ve taken reasonable steps to secure systems and data. Without documented policies, security becomes inconsistent, compliance becomes difficult to prove and your organization faces greater risk.
How detailed should our security policies be?
Policies should be detailed enough to provide clear guidance without becoming overly prescriptive. We typically recommend high-level policies that establish principles and requirements, supported by more detailed procedures for specific operations. This approach gives you flexibility while ensuring consistency. The right level of detail depends on your organization’s size, complexity and regulatory requirements.
How often should security policies be reviewed and updated?
Most organizations should review policies annually at minimum, with updates triggered by significant changes in technology, operations, regulations or threat landscape. High-security environments may require more frequent reviews. We help you establish review cycles that keep policies current without creating excessive administrative burden.
