Cyber Security Policies and Procedures
Our Cyber Security Management Systems support businesses transition from the physical office space to a cybersafe remote workplace securely, affordably and with minimal impact to operational output.
Cyber security policies and procedures form an essential part of any Cyber Security Management System (CSMS). Whilst systems, software and tools protect the business during an attempted attack or when an attack occurs, policies and procedures are designed to minimise errors and reduce the business’s overall cyber risk.
The Jam Cyber Policies and Procedures also provide action and response plans in the event a cyber attack is successful. This includes ensuring companies communicate effectively with key stakeholder in the aftermath and, meet their legal obligations as set out in the Australian Government’s Notifiable Data Breach Scheme.
The Jam Cyber CSMS includes our range of cyber security policies and procedures. These are customised for each company to ensure they are relevant and meet your business needs. Find out more about our Cyber Security Policies and Procedures below, or contact us for more information.
The Australian Government’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has reinforced that cyber security is essential when preparing for COVID-19 stating that “as more staff may work from home, and the use of remote access technology increases, adversaries may attempt to take advantage. ASD’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) encourages Australians to remain vigilant and ensure sound cyber security practices.”.

Benefits of Cyber Security Policies and Procedures
Cyber security policies and procedures will heighten cyber protection for any business. Systems and applications are important but having clear guidelines to increase employee cyber safety will dramatically reduce the likelihood of an attack. Further, clear actions for rapid responses to breaches, will reduce the overall impact of any successful attack. Below are the core reasons businesses should establish cyber security policies and procedures.
Five reasons to implement Employee Cyber Security Training
Providing your employees with cyber security policies and procedures gives clear guidance regarding appropriate and cyber safe use of networks and devices. This will increase the business’s overall cyber protection. Additionally, it will also ensure they maximise their personal cyber protection, reducing the chance of them becoming a victim to cyber crime.
With a complete cyber security management system, a cyber attack is rare – but it can still happen. Having an incident response plan, with communication templates will enable the business to act rapidly in the event of a cyber attack and minimise any damage caused.
Many businesses will have legal obligations to carry out if the business falls victim to a cyber attack. The Jam Cyber Policies and Procedures provide templates and cover required actions business owners must take to abide by the Australian Government’s Notifiable Data Breach Scheme.
One of the most important reasons to maintain cyber security policies and procedures is to ensure client communication and engagement is undertaken as swiftly as possible in the event of an attack. This act will not only protect your client’s privacy and data, but also ensure they remain loyal in the aftermath.
No business wants to fall victim to a scam. But having policies and procedures in place and ensure the business handles it with dignity and acceptable transparency. This further will enable the business to get back on its quickly to resume business as usual.

Establishing A Cyber Safe Remote Workplace
In 2020, a Gartner, Inc. report highlighted that 88 per cent of organisations encouraged or required employees to work from home due to coronavirus.
The traditional working environment is changing rapidly from the office to remote working.
This has left many Australian businesses asking: how will our workplace function if employees must self-isolate or the office needs to close immediately?
We know there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to establishing a cyber-safe remote workplace. However, with the increased risk of cyber-attacks on remote workers1, the Australian Government has stated that it is essential for all businesses to implement cyber security to support their remote working plans2.
Our range of Cyber Security Management Systems (CSMS) is designed to suit individual business needs, and support companies both in the office and during remote working. Discover which option is best for your business and establish your cyber safe remote workplace today.
