After executing the activities proposed in this manual, we will have fully equipped the organization with criteria and instruments to begin a coherent and robust security plan. It is important to highlight that the policies and procedures developed in this manual represent just a first approach to the development of a formal security plan and as long as the organization feels comfortable, it should be deepened and complemented with other aspects and strategies that cover the missing spaces in the proposed methodology.
