Information Security Policy

In an ever-changing business environment, information security is no longer optional but a prerequisite for trust, stability, and competitiveness.

Furthermore, the information security policy must consider legislation and external requirements such as NIS/NIS2, in addition to business operational requirements and internal requirements related to ISO and ITIL standards being followed.

How do we help with information security?

At Intellecta, we develop and implement information security policies that work in reality. We build on experience, insight, and best practices to ensure the policy is clear, executable, and compliant with laws and regulations.

Through workshops with key executives and detailed analysis, we establish a foundation for policies that support operations, protect data and systems, and ensure the security of people working within the company.

What are the key elements of an information security policy?

Information Security Management System

Definition of responsibilities, roles, and processes that ensure consistent implementation.

Access Controls

Only appropriate parties gain access to sensitive information and systems.

Data Protection and Backup

Secure data storage and recovery, as mistakes can be costly.

Network and User Security

Countermeasures against cyber attacks and risks in the digital environment.

Response Plans

Clear processes for notifications, responses, and recovery in case of security incidents.

Education and Training

Staff is key. We ensure everyone understands their role in security matters.

Operational Security and Business Continuity

Risk assessment and planning that ensures uninterrupted operations.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

The policy ensures that procedures do not involve legal risks.

The Process: From Need to Implementation

We lead the process from start to finish

1. Analysis of Needs and Risks

We map operations, legal requirements, and risks.

2. Workshop with Key Executives

Cross-functional collaboration ensures the policy reflects reality.

3. Implementation and Follow-up

The policy is a living process that evolves with changing circumstances. We recommend regular policy review, at minimum every two years.

NIS 2 – Increased Management Responsibility

With the NIS 2 regulation, managers bear personal responsibility for information security. Violations can have serious consequences in the form of financial penalties and sanctions.

At Intellecta, we help develop processes and policies that meet NIS 2 requirements and ensure professional implementation – enabling managers to fulfill their duties with confidence and companies to operate in a secure environment.

The NIS 2 regulation will be implemented into Icelandic law in the coming months. You can read more about the regulation here: NIS2 Directive: securing network and information systems | Shaping Europe’s digital future
