A Phishing Policy is essential for organizations operating in Ireland to establish robust cybersecurity measures and comply with legal requirements. This document becomes necessary as organizations face increasing sophisticated phishing threats and must meet obligations under Irish law, including the Data Protection Act 2018 and Criminal Justice (Offences Relating to Information Systems) Act 2017, as well as EU regulations such as GDPR. The Phishing Policy outlines comprehensive procedures for protecting against email-based fraud, sets clear responsibilities for all stakeholders, and establishes incident response protocols. It should be implemented by all organizations handling electronic communications and sensitive data, regardless of size or sector.
