Policy Framework for Interpreting Risk in eCommerce Security
Overview
Everyone knows that security is vital to eCommerce success. What they
often don’t know is that security is more than erecting physical and
electronic barriers. The strongest encryption and most robust firewall
are practically worthless without a security policy that articulates how
these tools are to be used.
This paper provides a framework for managing information security
policy for eCommerce applications. A security policy concern risks. It is
high-level and technology neutral. Its purpose is to set directions and
procedures, and to define penalties and countermeasures for
noncompliance.
The Policy Framework for Interpreting Risk in eCommerce Security
(PFIRES – pronounced “fires”) addresses the need to unify security
policies in a manner consistent with organizational eCommerce
objectives. PFIRES also facilitates coordination and communication
between senior executives, technology managers, and staff.
