General Security Management Clause Samples
The General Security Management clause establishes the overarching requirements and responsibilities for maintaining the security of information, assets, and operations within an organization or between contracting parties. It typically outlines the need for implementing appropriate security policies, procedures, and controls to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches, or other security threats. By setting these baseline expectations, the clause ensures that both parties are aligned on security standards, reducing the risk of incidents and clarifying accountability for safeguarding sensitive information.
