Walmart InfoSec Guiding Principles

Walmart InfoSec Guiding Principles

The impact of sound, resilient and repeatable information security practices are critical to day-to-day business operations and to ensure the security of the Walmart digital ecosystem through seamless integrated trust. Our information security principles must align with Walmart’s culture, mission and strategy and help define how we build and maintain secure systems and processes. 

We must be:

-      Trust champions who keep the customer in central focus, create a security driven culture across the business, champion risk reduction and be trusted advisors.

-      Business enablers who protect day-to-day operations through resiliency, securely enable the digital ecosystem, elevate partnerships with the business to deliver smart, simple and scalable solutions and responsibly reduce tech debt in partnership with the rest of Global Tech.

-      Focused on security excellence where we evaluate, evolve and implement best practices, continue to innovate, automate and invest wisely, reinvent, rethink and revolutionize security product and services and be people-led and tech-empowered.

-      Proactive in our approach which includes maintaining what we believe to be true, continuously improve, know our environment and leverage the adversary mindset.

The commitment to these guiding principles will help enable Walmart to maintain trust for all stakeholders; customers, associates, shareholders, suppliers, business partners and communities. 

This is a great

We just completed a similar process with my team here in Region 75. We called it “Building Culture”. The focus was setting those bright lines that allow the teams to operate in an environment that may be lacking of a specific direction or task to complete. The expectation is culture informs how we act in any situation that may lack a direct task or expectation. One of our points was ‘bias towards action’. When in a position to make a decision or to wait, we want our people confident that they are allowed to act. Great post Jerry!
