What is a Policy & Governance Program?
A Policy & Governance Program establishes the rules, procedures, and oversight mechanisms that guide your organization's approach to information security. It's the foundational layer for all compliance frameworks and security initiatives.
Comprehensive security policies communicate expectations, define responsibilities, and provide a framework for consistent security decision-making across your organization. They're essential for compliance, employee training, and demonstrating security maturity to customers and auditors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need formal security policies?
Security policies are required by all major compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR). Beyond compliance, they establish clear expectations, guide decision-making, demonstrate due diligence, support incident investigations, and create accountability. Policies are often the first thing auditors and security questionnaires request.
How many policies do I need?
The number varies by organization size and compliance requirements. A comprehensive program typically includes 25-35 policies covering access control, data protection, incident response, business continuity, asset management, HR security, and operational security. We tailor the suite to your specific needs.
Can you customize policies for our organization?
Yes, all policies are customized to your organization's size, industry, technology stack, and compliance requirements. We don't provide generic templates—we work with your team to create policies that reflect your actual practices and can be realistically implemented and maintained.
How often should policies be reviewed and updated?
Best practice is annual review of all policies, with updates as needed for regulatory changes, significant business changes, or security incidents. We help establish a policy review schedule and provide ongoing maintenance support to keep your policies current.
What's included in security awareness training?
Training programs typically cover password security, phishing awareness, data handling, acceptable use, incident reporting, physical security, and remote work security. We provide training materials, presentation decks, and assessment tests. Training should be conducted annually for all employees and during onboarding.
Do you help with policy implementation and rollout?
Yes, we assist with policy publication, employee communication, training delivery, and attestation processes. We also help integrate policies into your onboarding process and establish ongoing policy awareness programs. Policy effectiveness depends on proper rollout and ongoing reinforcement.
