New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) 5.1.7.C.01: 5.1.7.C.01 Agency information security policy (SecPol) in place

Agencies must have an Information Security Policy (SecPol). The source notes that the Chief Executive usually sponsors the SecPol and the CISO or the Chief Information Officer (CIO) usually manages it. The ITSM should act as the SecPol's custodian, and the SecPol should contain an acceptable use policy covering the agency's technology equipment, systems, resources and data.
