What does the Individual policy type include?

The Individual policy type is characterized by single, stand-alone policies and global files. This means that it is designed to focus on specific aspects of network security or operational protocols rather than trying to encompass multiple elements within a broader combined framework. Individual policies are essential because they allow organizations to establish clear guidelines and controls for specific issues or areas without the complexity that comes with integrating multiple policies.

This specificity is important as it ensures that each aspect of security can be handled with the appropriate level of detail and attention. For instance, an organization may have an individual policy related to password management that operates independently of other security policies, yet aligns with overall security objectives. The inclusion of global files in this type indicates a framework that can be uniformly applied across various areas or departments, benefiting from consistent implementation while still allowing for focused directives.

In contrast, combined policies for multiple modules refer to a aggregation of various policy elements, system-wide operational policies set rules that impact the entire system without specificity, and documentation files and reports are more about recording and documenting processes rather than setting them. Thus, the focus on standalone and distinct policy creation is what distinguishes the Individual policy type.
