This Policy represents the basis of the ISMS and defines the essential principles, rules and procedures for information security within the UAX Group, with the aim of preserving the confidentiality, integrity, availability and traceability of information.

The requirements set out in this Policy represent the minimum required; however, each entity of the UAX Group may develop a more detailed or advanced policy, according to its needs and level of maturity in information security.
