Document background
The Information Security Audit Policy serves as a critical governance document for organizations operating in Hong Kong's complex regulatory environment. It is designed to ensure systematic evaluation of information security controls, compliance with local regulations including the PDPO, and alignment with international security standards. This policy becomes essential when organizations need to establish or formalize their security audit processes, demonstrate regulatory compliance, or enhance their security governance framework. The document includes detailed procedures for various types of security audits, roles and responsibilities, reporting requirements, and remediation processes, while considering Hong Kong's specific regulatory requirements and business practices. It's particularly relevant given Hong Kong's status as a major financial and business hub, where data protection and cybersecurity are paramount concerns.
