A Cybersecurity Policy sets the rules and guidelines for protecting an organization's digital assets and data. In Denmark, these policies must align with both the EU's GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act, making them essential tools for companies handling sensitive information.

The policy outlines specific security measures, from password requirements to data breach response plans, and explains how employees should handle company technology. It helps Danish organizations meet their legal obligations under NIS2 Directive requirements while creating clear accountability for everyone accessing digital systems. Regular updates keep the policy current with evolving cyber threats and new regulatory demands.

Use a Cybersecurity Policy when your organization starts handling sensitive data or needs to protect digital assets. This becomes especially urgent for Danish companies processing personal information under GDPR, or those falling under NIS2 Directive requirements for critical infrastructure and essential services.

The policy proves invaluable during security audits, employee onboarding, and when expanding digital operations. It's particularly important after moving services to the cloud, implementing new software systems, or detecting security incidents. Danish financial institutions, healthcare providers, and public sector organizations need these policies in place before processing sensitive data or connecting to government networks.

A Cybersecurity Policy differs significantly from a Data Breach Response Policy in both scope and application. While both documents support data protection compliance, they serve distinct purposes in Danish organizations.

• Scope and Coverage: Cybersecurity Policies provide comprehensive guidelines for all digital security measures, while Data Breach Response Policies focus specifically on incident handling procedures
• Timing of Application: Cybersecurity Policies guide daily operations and preventive measures, whereas Data Breach Response Policies activate only when security incidents occur
• Legal Requirements: Both policies help meet GDPR obligations, but Cybersecurity Policies address broader NIS2 Directive compliance needs
• Stakeholder Involvement: Cybersecurity Policies affect all employees continuously, while Data Breach Response Policies primarily guide IT and management teams during incidents
