   Security policy(SP) is set of rules,   
   what must/must not be done or set from security point of view   
   and it is not limited to software.   
      
   SP implementation on SW system   
   is such a software module on system level,   
   that forces following such specified rules.   
      
   E.g. a part of SP in Android 4.4 is   
   that applications are not allowed   
   to perform free write access on removable SD cards,   
   but they are limited to their dedicated folder.   
   Later Androids got this part of SP more relaxed.
