With policies in place, it is the responsibility of the organization to make them understood by employees. It is also the responsibility of the organization to make sure that its employees are fully following the policies. Moreover, information security policies are important in a way that they help reduce the risks associated with employees' acceptable and unacceptable use of the company's information resources. As would confirm Danchev of Windows Security, the first step towards enhancing a company's security is the introduction of a precise yet enforceable security policy, informing staff on the various aspects of their responsibilities, general use of company resources and explaining how sensitive information must be handled and by also describing in detail the meaning of acceptable use, as well as listing prohibited activities (Danchev, 2003). By the same source, a good and well developed security policy should address how sensitive information must be handled, how to properly maintain your ID(s) and password(s), as well as any other accounting data, how to respond to a potential security incident, intrusion attempt, how to use workstations and Internet connectivity in a secure manner, how to properly use the corporate e-mail system (Danchev, 2003). Basically, the main reasons behind the creation of a security policy

Policies act as a guiding frame of reference for how the organisation deals with everything from its day to day operational problems or how to respond to requirements to comply with legislation, regulation and codes of practice
Policies and procedures should always be clear and concise so they are easy to understand and follow. They should emphasise the spirit of the rule: clearly identify the purpose and the scope. They should not over link or contradict each other.
Security policy is a document that contains rules and regulations on how to protect the network and its resources. It covers areas such as password, Internet and E-mail policies, administrative and user responsibilities, disaster recovery and intrusion detection. Effective security policy reduces risks and protects data and information. The aim of security policy is to create a secure organization by protecting the privacy, integrity and accessibility of systems and information, as well as explaining the members how they are responsible for protection of the company’s resources and how important secure communication is for the whole organization. Every security policy should take into consideration the organization’s culture and structure so that it can support productivity without having a negative impact on the members and the organization’s goals. Security policies protect from external threats and reduce internal risks (SANS, 2015).
The most common threat to a company's information assets mainly come from human error, inappropriate disclosures, and sheer carelessness on the part of the company's employees. Hackers who do intentionally tamper with the company's network often do so because they are tempted by assets they know are poorly protected. Weak security policies present the image that a company does not truly value its assets, which in turn attracts the petty thief and curiosity seeker. Therefore, the preventive element of any network security system should include a strong and enforceable security policy for its employees to follow, re-enforced by a form of technical protection (Control Data, 1999).

If you feel that the decision by the Board is unfair and that there is no merit to the complaints filed against you, you must consult a Kansas City professional defense lawyer to fight for your right to prove your innocence. Any disciplinary action taken against you can have a long-term impact on your career as well as your ability to practice. The biggest problem with complaints against professionals such as doctors, nurses, dentists etc. is that anybody can file such a complaint. This allows anybody - whether it’s a patient, a client, a client's family member, a colleague, a supervisor - to simply contact the Board and allege that you did this or that. A large number of investigations conducted by licensing boards are based on complaints
As a freelance writer and reporter, I have done more than my fair share of articles for the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as countless projects for private clients. I am by no means a professional investigator of any kind, but most of my work is that of an investigative journalist, taking requests via email or phone calls. Almost all of the requisitions I receive are involving current political issues or corporate pilferage. A lot would say the kind of work I do isn't as urgent or important as murder or rape or other "serious" crime, but I am a firm believer that all cases deserve an equal, rigorous investigation for a chance to truly get to the bottom of the case and bring the correct culprit into justice
Two physicians, trying to decrease overhead and remain independent practitioners, decide to share a common space. No formal agreement is reached, but they share the office, ancillary personnel, and billing arrangements. Each physician has their own patients, has their own practice guidelines, has their own set hours, and is not accountable to the other except for occasional on-call coverage. Each physician generates charges only from their own activities and, except for overhead costs, receives all excess profit at year end. Partner A is sued by a patient for malpractice and partner B is named as a codefendant in the lawsuit. Physician A loses the suit and is over insured limits. The court finds that the patient could conclude that the two
