What is an Issue-Specific Security Policy (ISSP)?

An Issue-Specific Security Policy (ISSP) is a type of security policy that focuses on addressing and mitigating specific security concerns within an organization. Unlike a broader and more general security policy, an ISSP is designed to provide detailed instructions and guidelines for protecting company assets, systems, and information against specific threats or vulnerabilities. Whether it is data breaches, physical security risks, network vulnerabilities, or any other specific security concern, an ISSP outlines the necessary measures to detect, prevent, and respond to these issues. It serves as a framework that helps organizations in establishing and maintaining a secure environment by defining roles, responsibilities, and protocols related to the issue at hand, ultimately safeguarding valuable assets and maintaining operational continuity.
