From the way users browse the internet to the files they upload and download, a local security policy can set requirements to ensure your business's network is protected. What is a local security policy?Ī local security policy includes the standards an organization uses to ensure a safe network throughout a worksite.

It's also a great way to ensure a standard security policy configuration across multiple computers if you don't have a domain. Secpol is a way to control various security policies and settings that define different behaviors on your Windows 10 computer.

However, if you have a stand-alone computer, you can achieve the same result with the local security policy editor, or Secpol.msc. The group policy editor allows you to control settings on many Windows computers from a central location. If your Windows 10 computer is a member of a domain, you may be familiar with the group policy editor, Gpedit.msc.
