policy has not, to date, been the subject of explicit, empirical scrutiny, in the
academic literature. To help fill this gap an exploratory research project was initiated
that sought to investigate the uptake, content, dissemination and impact of
information security policies. To this end, a questionnaire was mailed to senior IS
executives, in large UK-based organizations, and 208 valid responses were
received. The results of this research have indicated that whilst policies are now
fairly common, at least amongst our sample, there is still a high degree of variety in
terms of their content and dissemination.
