Which of the following should be understood as compulsory restrictions that must be followed?
Policies are formal, authoritative directives issued by an organization that define mandatory rules and limitations personnel must comply with; non-compliance typically results in disciplinary action. In contrast, codes of conduct and ethics primarily describe expected behavioral standards and values, serving as guidance for professional and moral behavior rather than strictly enforced mandates. This distinction is commonly used in security governance frameworks (e.g., CompTIA Security+ objectives) that separate mandatory policies/standards/procedures from advisory guidelines and aspirational codes of ethics/conduct.
