The executive management is ultimately responsible for all of the risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. They are the face that the public ties to any security breach because they are the ones that explain too the public what happened. Executive management is also responsible for selecting the key leaders within the organization. Automated policy enforcements controls are controls that are consistently applied in the same way every single time. Automated policy enforcement controls take away the chance of human error and they decrease the amount of time needed for a response to an attack.
Automated Controls can also be tracked and logged with a simple configuration. The only limiting factor for automated controls are the capabilities for of the technology. In some cases the human factor is essential, manual policy enforcement controls need humans to make a decision. Although many things can be automated things such as background checks, log reviews, access rights reviews, and attestations can not be. The enforcement of security policies takes place across multiple layers of an organization.
General counsel enforces the legally binding agreements and the executive management implements enterprise risk management. After the general counsel and executive management complete their part they then pass it along to Human resources for the enforcement of disciplinary actions. The final two layers of the enforcement process are information systems security organization and front-line manager/supervisor.
The information systems security organization enforces security policies at the program level, where as the front-line supervisor enforces the policies at the employee level. In biblical comparison, it is ultimately up to everyone to ensure that an organization is secure the same way it is everyones responsibility to keep the faith. From GOD to Jesus, from Jesus to his disciples, and from the twelve disciples to the people. The passing of the word has to roll from top all the way to the lowest level and it has to have the support of each level to make an impact on the world.
