Which term sets the standards of behaviors for cybersecurity within an organization?

• A. Policy
• B. SSL/TLS
• C. Compliance
• D. Web Service

Answer: (A)

Policy defines the expected and allowed behaviors for security within an organization. It sets governance, roles, access controls, acceptable use, incident response, and enforcement, creating a baseline for security practices and guiding training and audits. The other terms have different roles: SSL/TLS is a protocol for protecting data in transit, Compliance is about meeting rules and requirements, and Web service is a software component for networked functionality. So the term that establishes the standards of cybersecurity behavior is policy.
