National Policing will maintain public trust by securing our data and by applying a consistent, proportional approach to technology risk across policing. The Community Security Policy (CSP) is an integral part of the Community Security Policy Framework and combined with Community Security Principles and the supporting standards, control objectives and other supporting documentation will help policing maintain public trust in its management of information assets. This Policy should be read in conjunction with the National Policing Community Security Policy (CSP) Framework, and Community Security Principles with which this policy is aligned. The audience, scope, objectives, governance and exception process for this policy are defined by the National Policing Community Security Policy Framework, which can be found in Knowledge Hub. For clarity this policy has been approved by the Police Information Assurance Board (PIAB) and applies to all members of the ‘Community of Trust’ as defined by the National Policing Community Security Policy Framework, and any suppliers and partners that have access to, store and/or process Police information, to provide services to Policing. This policy has taken into consideration and is aligned with industry best practice, which includes ISO/IEC 27002:2022, CIS Controls v8 (Center for Information Security), NIST Cyber Security Framework, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix v4 (Cloud Security Alliance) and NCSC 10 Steps to Cyber Security.
