Computer Security Policies: Information for a Business or the Regular Man?

http://www.comptechdoc.org/independent/security/recommendations/secpolgen.html

At some point or the other, all of us would have been warned about the many dangers that happen in everyday life. In the modern world, however, these warnings have veered away from instructions like "Make sure you're home at a certain time" to "You should look into encrypting files before saving or sending them". There have been many efforts to make sure individuals are aware of some steps to take to ensure their safety online and while using computers. This leads me to question whether or not the bulk of information is really to protect the regular man or protect the "secrets" of a business.

Aside from universities publishing guidelines on the use of their networks, links like the one above give general information on computer policies. The bottom line is the link to the outside and business world and not a regular person in their home. How come there aren't many other posts or campaigns about protecting one's policy in their own home aside from the common thread about using a password on one's devices?

More needs to be done. on this front At the very least, the jargon used in these posts should be simplified for the average person to understand and follow. I can the appreciate the effort to break down the information into sections and the organization of these posts into smaller parts under sub-headings but this cannot distract from the fact that the information is seemingly geared toward a particular audience.

One can argue that one or two of the suggestions can be used in one's home but that is not the point here. Systematic advice and suggestions should be holistically given to the regular person on the street - information they can relate to.
