Explanation
Procedures provide detailed, step-by-step instructions for implementing specific security measures or tasks. They are the most granular level of security documentation. Policies (B) are high-level statements of intent and management direction (e.g., 'all data must be encrypted'). Standards (A) define specific mandatory requirements (e.g., 'use AES-256 encryption'). Regulations (C) are external legal or government mandates. The hierarchy flows from Policy → Standard → Procedure, with procedures being the actionable, how-to documents.
