# Coming Soon
# Purpose and Scope
a. The purpose of this policy is to define requirements for establishing and maintaining baseline protection standards for company software, network devices, servers, and desktops.
a. This policy applies to all users performing software development, system administration, and management of these activities within the organization. This typically includes employees and contractors, as well as any relevant external parties involved in these activities (hereinafter referred to as “users”). This policy must be made readily available to all users.
a. This policy also applies to enterprise-wide systems and applications developed by the organization or on behalf of the organization for production implementation.
# Background
a. The intent of this policy is to ensure a well-defined, secure and consistent process for managing the entire lifecycle of software and information systems, from initial requirements analysis until system decommission. The policy defines the procedure, roles, and responsibilities, for each stage of the software development lifecycle.
a. Within this policy, the software development lifecycle consists of requirements analysis, architecture and design, development, testing, deployment/implementation, operations/maintenance, and decommission. These processes may be followed in any form; in a waterfall model, it may be appropriate to follow the process linearly, while in an agile development model, the process can be repeated in an iterative fashion.

# Coming Soon
# Purpose and Scope
a. This removable media, cloud storage and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy defines the objectives, requirements and implementing instructions for storing data on removable media, in cloud environments, and on personally-owned devices, regardless of data classification level.
a. This policy applies to all information and data within the organization’s information security program, as well as all removable media, cloud systems and personally-owned devices either owned or controlled by the organization.
a. This policy applies to all users of information systems within the organization. This typically includes employees and contractors, as well as any external parties that come into contact with systems and information controlled by the organization (hereinafter referred to as “users”). This policy must be made readily available to all users.
# Background
a. This policy defines the procedures for safely using removable media, cloud storage and personally-owned devices to limit data loss or exposure. Such forms of storage must be strictly controlled because of the sensitive data that can be stored on them. Because each of these storage types are inherently ephemeral or portable in nature, it is possible for the organization to lose the ability to oversee or control the information stored on them if strict security standards are not followed.
a. This document consists of three sections pertaining to removable media, cloud storage, and personally-owned devices. Each section contains requirements and implementing instructions for the registration, management, maintenance, and disposition of each type of storage.
a. Within this policy, the term sensitive information refers to information that is classified as RESTRICTED or CONFIDENTIAL in accordance with the Data Classification Policy (reference (a)).
