Document background
The Security Audit Policy serves as a critical governance document for organizations operating in Hong Kong's highly regulated business environment. It provides a structured approach to evaluating and ensuring the effectiveness of information security controls, compliance with local regulations, and protection of sensitive data. This policy becomes essential when organizations need to demonstrate compliance with Hong Kong's data protection laws, particularly the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, and industry-specific regulations. The document typically includes detailed procedures for conducting security audits, roles and responsibilities, reporting requirements, and remediation protocols. It is particularly relevant for organizations handling sensitive data, operating in regulated industries, or maintaining significant digital infrastructure.
