Test: Security Policies are Reviewed

Drata inspects your company records to determine if Management reviewed and approved its security policies before the renewal date.

Updated over a year ago

ASSOCIATED DRATA CONTROL

This test is part of the Security Policies control that ensures your company has approved security policies, and that all employees accept these procedures when hired. This control also checks to make sure that Management has reviewed and approved these policies and that they are made accessible to all employees and contractors.

WHAT TO DO IF A TEST FAILS

If Drata finds that your security policies have not been approved within the last 12 months the test will fail. With a failed test you will receive a list of policies that are passed the policy renewal date.

To remediate a failed test, you will need to notify the policy owner(s) and ask that they review, update the renewal date, and click 'Approve Policy' on those that are outdated.
