Information Governance and Data Security Policy Writers
What are Information Governance and Data Security Policies?
Information governance and data security policies outline how organisations manage and protect information so that it is accurate, available, secure and used responsibly.
Strong governance and security controls help ensure compliance with legislation, reduce risks of data loss or misuse, and build trust with customers, employees and regulators. A clear policy ensures that staff understand their responsibilities in protecting information and that data is managed in line with best practice.
What Do Information Governance and Data Security Policies Cover?
An information governance and data security policy typically includes:
-
Roles and responsibilities of staff, managers and information governance leads
-
Procedures for collecting, storing, accessing, sharing and disposing of information securely
-
Standards for ensuring data quality, accuracy and reliability
-
Access control measures to protect sensitive or restricted data
-
Compliance with data protection laws, including UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
-
Security measures to safeguard confidentiality, integrity and availability of information

Procedures for incident reporting, data breaches and corrective action

A clear policy helps employees understand how information must be handled and what safeguards must be applied across the organisation.
It also supports compliance with UK data protection legislation, ISO/IEC 27001 standards, and sector-specific requirements such as the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit for healthcare organisations.
By embedding strong information governance and security practices, organisations can improve operational efficiency, maintain compliance and strengthen stakeholder confidence in the responsible use of information.
