Which term describes the policy set that provides general direction, a framework to meet business goals, and defines roles and terms?

• A. Organizational Security Policies
• B. Issue-specific Policies
• C. Load Balancing
• D. Overt

Answer: (A)

Organizational security policies establish the high-level rules and governance that guide security across the entire organization. They provide general direction, create the framework needed to align security with business goals, and define key roles and terms used throughout all security efforts. This broad, organization-wide scope is why it best fits the description of a policy set that sets direction, provides a framework, and clarifies roles and terms.

Issue-specific policies focus on narrow areas (like specific controls or procedures) and don’t establish the overall governance or company-wide roles. Load balancing is a networking concept, not a policy. Overt isn’t a standard policy category.
