Don’t Let Generic Templates Be Your Only Defense

Not sure where to start with security policies? You’re not alone.

Most small and medium-sized businesses rely on outdated templates or have no formal security policies at all, and it shows.
Generic policies sit in folders gathering dust while employees make up their own rules. There’s no clear guidance on data handling, no incident response procedures, and no accountability when security practices fail.

That makes you an easy target.
From insider threats to compliance violations, the lack of proper security policies leaves massive gaps in your defenses. Meanwhile, regulations are tightening and auditors are demanding comprehensive documentation that generic templates can’t provide.

That’s where custom security policies come in.
You get comprehensive documentation tailored to your business—without the six-figure consultant fees. We’ll analyze your operations, identify your risks, write policies that make sense for your team, and help you implement them effectively.

Top FAQs

Why can’t we just use templates from the internet?

Generic templates don’t address your specific business operations, technology stack, or compliance requirements. They often contain irrelevant sections while missing critical areas unique to your business. Custom policies ensure every guideline is relevant, enforceable, and actually protects your organization.

How do we get employees to actually follow the policies?

We write policies in plain English that employees can understand, provide training materials to explain the “why” behind each policy, and help you implement an acknowledgment system. Our policies focus on practical guidance rather than legal jargon, making compliance natural rather than burdensome.

What types of policies do we actually need?

It depends on your industry, size, and compliance requirements. At minimum, every business needs an Information Security Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Incident Response Policy, and Access Control Policy. We’ll assess your specific needs and recommend the right mix of policies to protect your business and meet regulatory requirements.

How long does policy development take?

Our Essential package can be completed in 1-2 weeks, while Comprehensive packages typically take 3-4 weeks. The timeline depends on the complexity of your operations and how quickly we can gather information from your team. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation.

Will policy development disrupt our operations?

Not at all. We gather information through structured interviews and questionnaires that minimize disruption. Most of our work happens behind the scenes. Your team’s involvement is typically limited to a few hours of interviews and review sessions spread over several weeks.

How often should policies be updated?

Security policies should be reviewed annually and updated whenever there are significant changes to your business, technology, or regulatory environment. Our Managed tier includes quarterly reviews and updates, ensuring your policies always reflect current threats and requirements.

What if we need help implementing the policies?

All our packages include implementation guidance. The Comprehensive and Managed tiers include training materials, rollout plans, and ongoing support. We can also provide additional implementation services, including employee training sessions and policy management platform setup.

What happens if we don’t have proper security policies?

Without proper policies, you’re vulnerable to insider threats, compliance violations, and inconsistent security practices. During audits, missing policies often result in failed certifications or regulatory fines. More importantly, when incidents occur, the lack of clear procedures leads to confusion, delays, and increased damage.

Can you help us pass specific compliance audits?

Yes! We specialize in creating policies that meet specific compliance requirements including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more. Every policy includes detailed framework mapping with specific control references, making it easy for auditors to verify compliance. We provide comprehensive documentation and implementation guidance to help you track your framework coverage.
