What is Personal Security Hygiene?
Hacked.com is defining the term Personal Security Hygiene
Personal Security Hygiene is an individual’s ongoing ability to understand security risks and the continuous practice of staying informed and implementing measures to protect themselves from digital harm. By securing their digital activities, such as using a password manager and enhance privacy controls, individuals not only protect their own information but also improve their understanding of corporate security vulnerabilities, thereby contributing to stronger security practices within their organizations.
Personal Security Hygiene can be considered an integral part of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, which specifies requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). While the standard primarily focuses on protecting organizational information assets, it acknowledges the critical role that individual behavior plays in maintaining overall security, see Clause A.7.2.2: Information Security Awareness, Education, and Training.
Recognizing the gap between corporate security policies and employees’ personal digital habits, we at Hacked.com offer a new solution to address this overlooked area.
