• Asset classification policy: This policy defines an organizations data classification standard. It designates the IT assets that are critical to the organizations mission as well as defining the organizations systems, uses, and data priorities and identifying assets.
• Asset protection policy: This policy helps organizations define a priority for mission-critical IT systems and data. It is aligned with an organizations business impact analysis and is used to address risks that could threaten the organizations ability to continue operations after a disaster.
• Vulnerability assessment and management: This policy defines an organization-wide vulnerability window for production operating system and application software. Organization-wide vulnerability assessment and management standards, procedures, and guidelines are developed from this policy.
