Information Shield, the leading provider of pre-written Information Security Policies, today announced the release of the Common Policy Library (CPL) – an integrated set of information security policies that enables compliance with multiple regulatory frameworks including ISO 27002, NIST, HIPAA and PCI-DSS.


“Our work with hundreds of organizations helped us realize that adopting a single regulatory framework for security policies has many problems,” said David Lineman, president of Information Shield. “We developed the Common Policy Library to enable any organization to quickly adopt and document a best-practice approach to information security and that also maps to different compliance frameworks.”


Many organizations struggle with managing compliance with multiple regulatory and IT security frameworks. The objective is to identify a single, unified set of information security controls.  The Common Policy Library enables organizations to quickly adopt and document such a framework, saving hundreds of hours of analysis and regulatory cross-mappings. 


The CPL is a comprehensive library of information security and data privacy policies that is continually updated and mapped to key information security regulations and frameworks including ISO 27002, HIPAA, NIST and PCI-DSS.   The CPL is designed to allow organizations to quickly define and demonstrate due-diligence in their information security posture.  The Common Policy Library is the next evolution of Information Shield’s leading policy template library, Information Security Policies Made Easy, by Charles Cresson Wood.
