Today we're talking about eating the security dog food! What do I mean by that? Well, a lot of security companies I worked for in the past preached to clients about the importance of having a good security program, but didn't have one of their own! I'm trying to break that pattern now that I'm in a position to lead an information security program for 7MS.

In today's episode we talk about getting your company started with a good set of infosec policies/procedures. First up is a "mothership" infosec policy with the following sub-policies inside it:

• Acceptable Use
• Data Protection and Privacy
• Physical Security
• Tools and Technology
• Training and Awareness
• Reporting
