• a setting unit configured to set which one of a first security policy set in the information processing apparatus and a second security policy set in the printing control apparatus takes priority;
• a determination unit configured to determine whether the printing control apparatus is connected;
• and
• a control unit configured to apply the second security policy in a case where the second security policy is set to have priority over the first security policy, and configured to apply the first security policy in a case where the first security policy is set to have priority over the second security policy, when the printing control apparatus is connected.

An information processing apparatus that communicates with a printing control apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a first setting unit configured to set a security policy for the information processing apparatus;
• a second setting unit configured to set whether to apply the security policy according to a user;
• a determination unit configured to determine whether the printing control apparatus when connected has a security function and setting of applying the security policy according to a user is activated;
