Organizations need governance documents; those policies, procedures, and other written rules that tell the organization and employees what to do and how to do it. These documents are an important part of management to help the organization comply with legal requirements, accomplish its mission, and run efficiently. Policies have legal significance and are the first things requested by a government regulator or civil plaintiff-they could be Exhibit 1 in a lawsuit. Or they could be quality documents that keep your organization's practices in compliance and avoid a lawsuit in the first place. This book helps you and your organization build effective and quality governance documents. Policies are about both the destination and the journey. With a solid process you can improve your organization and the individuals on your project team while you create or update your documents. This is for any type of organization and can be applied to any topic and any type of governance document. Learn about the Five Components for Policy Work and how to apply them for your company, non-profit, or government entity. Some chapters and sections are devoted to cybersecurity, an essential area and you will learn about the Four Pillars of Cybersecurity. The book is well organized and modular so you can find what you need and includes an index, glossary, "Quick start guide", policy checklist, over 30 diagrams, and other resources. The book is divided into helpful parts.
