Description: The File Sharing Policy is a set of guidelines that dictate how files can be shared within an organization. Its primary goal is to ensure that sensitive and critical information is handled securely, minimizing the risk of data loss and ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to the information. This policy is framed within the strategies of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Zero Trust Security, where it is assumed that no entity, whether internal or external, is completely trustworthy. File sharing policies establish rules about who can share files, what types of files can be shared, and through what means. They also include measures for encryption, authentication, and auditing to monitor access and use of shared files. In a technological environment, these policies are essential for protecting intellectual property, customer data, and complying with privacy regulations. Implementing an effective policy not only helps prevent data breaches but also fosters a culture of responsibility and awareness regarding information security among employees.
