Information Shield Releases New Common Security Policy Library
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) December 30, 2014 -- Information Shield, the leading provider of pre-written Information Security Policies, today announced the release of the Common Policy Library (CPL) – an integrated set of information security policies that enables compliance with multiple regulatory frameworks with a single set of policy templates.
“Our work with hundreds of organizations helped us realize that adopting a single regulatory framework for security policies has many problems,” said David Lineman, president of Information Shield. “We developed the Common Policy Library to enable any organization to quickly adopt and document a best-practice approach to information security that also maps easily to different compliance frameworks such as ISO 27002, NIST, HIPAA and PCI-DSS.”
Many organizations struggle with managing compliance with multiple regulatory and IT security frameworks. The objective is to identify a single, unified set of information security controls that are both practical and enforceable. The Common Policy Library (CPL) enables organizations to quickly adopt and document such a framework, saving hundreds of hours of analysis and regulatory cross-mappings.

The Common Policy Library (CPL) is the next evolution of Information Shield’s leading policy template library, Information Security Policies Made Easy, by Charles Cresson Wood.
