Explanation
A compliance policy defines the mandatory technical and procedural controls an organization must implement to meet regulatory, legal, or internal security requirements-including encryption, access controls, and data protection measures that directly protect the contents of corporate machines. A regulatory policy refers to external laws or rules the organization must follow but is not something an administrator 'employs.' A password policy protects access credentials but not the data contents of machines directly. An acceptable use policy governs how users may use company resources but does not technically protect machine contents. Compliance policy is the broadest administrative control that enforces protective measures across all corporate systems.
