Purpose
Any allowed access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of information located on the organization’s computer systems is covered by this policy. Airpak Express Tracking`s Companies goal is to promote the effective and efficient use of information regarding the organization’s operations and business transactions in order to fully realize the organization’s goals and objectives. This policy places a strong emphasis on providing proper protection for client data. As a result, it is expected that both clients and staff will work closely with system designers and administrators to completely realize the goals of the company.
Scope
The Courier Tracking as a whole, as well as external parties like clients, programmers, and the general public, are subject to its security policy. Employees who break the regulations outlined in this policy will automatically face disciplinary action and lose their jobs. There will be legal action taken against other parties. Any user of the computer systems is required to adhere to all the security guidelines in this policy.
Policy Proclamation
The corporation must treat all information collected, obtained, or used for transaction purposes as sensitive information and must not divulge it to third parties without the owner’s express authorization. Every user is solely responsible for the conception, creation, implementation, and proper usage of the new system. Any critical information stored on individual computers, such as payroll or pricing data, must be password-protected or encrypted. No user will be allowed to exchange User-IDs and passwords with their coworkers in order to prevent privilege violations. User rules will specify what users are permitted to do when utilising the network or data, as well as specifying security options like passwords. User rules will place restrictions on what can be introduced to the network that might compromise its security, such as the addition of new programmes to workstations, the kinds of programmes end users are permitted to use, and the ways in which they can access and manipulate data.
Password rules that maintain the security of user accounts are part of the criteria for user policy security. The system will specify the frequency with which users are permitted to change their passwords as well as the length and complexity of those changes. The system will also specify the types of characters that can be used in passwords, such as lower- or upper-case letters, numbers, and special characters. The company’s information will be used in accordance with the policies on proprietary information. It will also specify how the information is transferred and where it is stored. Email use and any other data sent over the internet will be governed by internet usage restrictions. Regulations for system use will handle personal accounts and their related log-ins, ban file sharing through instant messaging, and restrict software installations. The remote usage system will scan for Trojan horses, malware, and viruses that could damage the system. The information technology regulations that outline the highest level of system security and stability must be followed by every user. After being attacked by viruses, the new system must be able to provide recovery and validation facilities. Additionally, it should offer immediate backups, make suggestions for avoiding such occurrences, and specify where it should be saved and the system applications that actually do the backup process. System modifications, port blocking or opening, user interface provision and control, email auto-forwarding, system auditing, and assessment are all part of server configuration settings.
Effective disaster management should comprise end-user recovery, server recovery, data recovery, and emergency response strategies. Effective risk management is necessary to protect the system against threats and vulnerabilities. Such threats should be addressed with countermeasures. Customer credit card numbers should be encrypted by the system during transmission by limiting places where they may appear, such as in the databases and log files, and providing safe storage for the data. The system should also provide informational confidentiality, that is, there should be no disclosure of information to unauthorised individuals. Additionally, it ought to provide data integrity, which entails that stored data cannot be changed covertly. Along with data confidentiality, the system must also guarantee message integrity.
Data accessibility is a crucial component of a good system. By providing clients with the information they may need at the appropriate time, this improves the quality of services. The data access communication channels must always be in good working order. Additionally, it need to guarantee the defence against denial-of-service assaults. All information used within the system, including transactions, conversations, and documents, must be authentic. Additionally, it must confirm that the users are who they say they are—real people. System controls need to be implemented for the system to be monitored successfully. Administrative measures like the Data Security Standards enforced by Visa and Mastercard may be among them.
It must also have logical or technical controls that monitor and regulate access to information and the computing system using data and software. For instance, data encryption, network-based firewalls, and passwords. Limit the number of password attempts and time periods.
Physical restrictions like network segregation and cable locks keep an eye on the office and computing environment. Identification and authentication are two examples of access controls that help limit who can access what data and for what purposes.
This policy paper essentially lays out the particular standards, rules, and regulations that will control how our recently built e-commerce domain and the organization’s whole computing system should be used. These guidelines apply equally to all members of the organization’s staff and prospective clients. The organization’s computer facilities, together with all associated data and information, are valuable assets, so they should be given proper protection. In order to ensure the security, confidentiality, and integrity of any information used, all parties involved should shoulder equal accountability.
