Router Procedure (Standard / Procedure) – Sample
The following is just an example of a “standard” (or procedure) and is not intended to be all inclusive – hopefully you will see the relationship between a company’s Information Security Policy (ISP) and the standard / procedure for routers. Also, the next level in the ISP process is called “practices” (or processes) where the details of the default settings for a particular brand / type of router is documented – this detail is not put into the ISP, but rather kept in the IT department. Only the ISP statement and the standards / procedures are put into the company’s ISP documentation.
