Policy Development

Security that lives in a binder no one reads protects no one. We write clear, practical policies that match how your team actually works—short enough to read, specific enough to follow, and ready when you need to prove you have them.

What's included

The core documents every small organization should have—written in plain English, not legalese.

Acceptable use policy

The ground rules for passwords, devices, email, and increasingly AI tools—what's okay, what isn't, and what to do when you're not sure. Clear enough that a new hire gets it on day one.

Incident response plan

A simple runbook for when something goes wrong: who to call, what to do first, and how to contain the damage. The plan you'll be grateful for at 2 a.m.

Data handling & retention

What information you collect, where it lives, who can touch it, and how long you keep it. Less data held means less to lose—and a clearer answer when a customer or donor asks.

Compliance alignment

We map your policies to what actually applies to you—donor and grant requirements, client security questionnaires, cyber-insurance conditions, or the basics of HIPAA and PCI—without drowning you in frameworks you don't need.

What this looks like

Where good policy quietly saves the day.

Example

The plan no one could find at 2 a.m.

A business hit with ransomware lost an hour just figuring out who to call. We wrote them a one-page incident runbook—first steps, contact list, and insurer details—so the next surprise starts with action instead of panic.

Example

Bring-your-own-everything

A remote team used personal laptops and phones with no rules at all. We drafted a practical device policy—basic protections, what's allowed, and how to handle a lost device—that the team could actually live with.

Example

"What do we even keep?"

A non-profit had years of donor records scattered across drives and inboxes. We built a data-retention policy that defined what to keep, what to delete, and when—shrinking their risk and making a future audit far easier.

How it works

Discovery

We learn how your team actually works—tools, data, and day-to-day habits—so the policy fits reality instead of fighting it.

Draft

We write clear, plain-language documents tailored to your size and risk—no copy-pasted templates bristling with rules you'll never enforce.

Review

We walk through the drafts with you, adjust anything that won't work in practice, and make sure leadership and staff are on board.

Rollout & training

We help you introduce the policies to the team so they're understood and followed—not just filed away and forgotten.
