Policy

An organization's formal set of guiding principles and consistent practices that direct how it behaves and makes decisions.

Key Points

  • Policies are high-level, principle-based directives that guide organizational behavior and choices.
  • They set mandatory boundaries for projects; plans and deliverables must comply.
  • Policies differ from procedures (step-by-step) and standards (specific measurable rules).
  • They are shaped by strategy, ethics, and regulations, and enforced through governance.

Example

A company has a data privacy policy requiring encryption of customer information and least-privilege access. The project manager ensures requirements, design, and testing include encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance reviews before accepting deliverables.

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes a policy in a project environment?

  1. A high-level set of principles that prescribes required behavior for the organization.
  2. A detailed checklist that explains how to perform a specific task.
  3. A document that authorizes the project and names the project manager.
  4. A recommended practice that teams may follow at their discretion.

Correct Answer: A — A high-level set of principles that prescribes required behavior

Explanation: Policies set mandatory, organization-wide direction. Procedures describe steps, charters authorize projects, and guidelines are optional.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
