A healthcare organization's high-level security policy mandates that all electronic protected health information (ePHI) must be encrypted both in transit and at rest. However, a internal audit reveals that different operational teams are deploying inconsistent encryption parameters, with some using outdated ciphers. To enforce compliance, security leadership must issue a document that mandates uniform technical rules and mandatory configurations—such as requiring minimum AES-256 for storage and TLS 1.3 for transmission—across all systems, without listing step-by-step administrative workflow actions. Which of the following governance document types should be published to meet this requirement?
- ASecurity guideline
- Security standardCevap
- CSecurity policy
- DSecurity procedure
Cevap
Security standard
A security standard provides mandatory, compulsory rules and technical specifications (such as explicit algorithm requirements like AES-256 or TLS 1.3) designed to support and enforce high-level security policies across an enterprise.
