SB195 Completes policy attestation

Most organizations today have multiple compliance requirements and contractual obligations that require all employees to attest that policies and procedures have been read and acknowledged. An attestation is a way to confirm, witness, validate or authenticate that an employee has received up to date and accurate information or training concerning company policies that he or she will be required to perform.


Why is it important?

Understanding security policies increases awareness and understanding of relevant protocol when dealing with threats actors and/or security incidents. Greater awareness of security protocol significantly decreases the risk of a security incident, and enables effective reportage should one occur (which can mitigate exploitation).
