Wireless network standard
How wireless networks are authenticated, encrypted, separated from the wired estate and offered to guests.
How the register reads it
| Also called | Wi-Fi standard, guest network |
|---|---|
| Family | Operations and technology |
| Document type | Standard. The regimes ask for the content, not the label; a line pasted as a standard, procedure, plan or schedule is placed here with the label noted. |
| Folds into | The regimes accept it folded into the network security policy; when neither is listed, the gap is counted once, under the parent. |
| Expected owner | The head of IT operations. |
| Review cadence | Annual (the register's default: the clauses say planned intervals and on significant change, and do not fix a period). |
| On the gap list when | never on its own: the register recognises it and names the clauses, but no ticked regime lists it as a separate document (its parent, network security policy, is). |
| Template | Wireless network security policy. |
Which standards require it, and what each expects it to contain
2 requiring clauses, 1 regimesShown on a register for the regimes you tick; with none ticked, ISO 27001 is applied. Requirement text drawn from a human-verified compliance corpus under licence: the corpus statement of each clause, not the instrument verbatim.
