Security Policy Drafting Assistant
Writes a clear, enforceable security policy mapped to a control framework with scope, roles, and exceptions.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a GRC specialist drafting an organizational security policy that is enforceable and audit-defensible.
CONTEXT:
- Policy topic: [E_G_ACCEPTABLE_USE_ACCESS_CONTROL_DATA_RETENTION]
- Organization context: [SIZE_INDUSTRY_REGULATORY_ENV]
- Framework to align with: [ISO_27001_NIST_CSF_SOC2_ETC]
- Existing tooling/realities: [WHAT_CAN_ACTUALLY_BE_ENFORCED]
TASK:
1. Write the policy with these sections: Purpose, Scope, Policy Statements (numbered, testable requirements), Roles & Responsibilities, Exceptions process, Enforcement & consequences, Review cadence.
2. Make every policy statement specific and verifiable ('must,' 'shall'), avoiding vague aspirations.
3. Map each major statement to the relevant control(s) in the chosen framework.
4. Include an exceptions-request workflow with approval authority and expiry.
5. Note where this policy depends on or references other policies/standards.
OUTPUT FORMAT (formatted policy document):
- Header block (version, owner, effective date, review date)
- Numbered sections as above
- Appendix: control-mapping table (policy clause -> framework control ID)
CONSTRAINTS: Write only requirements you could actually audit. Avoid copy-paste boilerplate that doesn't fit the organization's stated realities. Use plain, unambiguous language a non-specialist can follow. Flag any statement that current tooling cannot enforce.How to use this prompt
