Security policy generator
Draft your information security policies in minutes — clear, consistent and audit-ready, in English and French.
What is a security policy generator?
A security policy generator is a tool that produces your security documents (acceptable use, access control, passwords, incident response…) from structured templates and a few facts about your organisation. You avoid the blank page and inconsistencies between documents, while keeping control over tailoring to your context. PolicyForge covers the policies expected by ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2 and DORA.
Which security policies should you write first?
When starting from zero, order matters more than completeness. Begin with the four documents that cover most of an SME’s real risk: the access control policy (who can access what, with MFA and periodic reviews — the failure behind a large share of breaches), the acceptable use policy (the document every employee signs at onboarding), the password policy, and the incident response policy — because mid-incident is too late to write it. Backup, classification and remote work come next.
Each policy should fit in a few pages, name an owner, carry a review date and an approval block signed by management. A short document that people know and follow beats an exhaustive binder nobody has read — and that is also the first thing an auditor checks.
Which policy covers which risk?
How the baseline policies map to the risk they reduce and the framework that expects them:
| Policy | Main risk covered | Expected by |
|---|---|---|
| Access control | Orphaned accounts, excessive privilege, credential compromise | ISO 27002 5.15–5.18, SOC 2, NIS2 |
| Acceptable use | System misuse, no defensible disciplinary basis | ISO 27002 5.10, customer audits |
| Passwords / MFA | Account takeover | ISO 27001, cyber insurance |
| Incident response | Improvised reaction, missed notification deadlines (GDPR 72h, NIS2 24h) | ISO 27002, GDPR, NIS2, DORA |
| Backup & recovery | Data loss, ransomware | ISO 27002 8.13, BCP/DRP |
| Information classification | Sensitive data handled as public | ISO 27002 5.12–5.13, GDPR |

Frequently asked questions
How do I create an information security policy?
Define the scope and objective, align the content with a framework (ISO 27001, NIST, CIS), get management approval, communicate it, and review it regularly. PolicyForge automates the structured drafting and versioning; you keep the context tailoring.
How many security policies do I need?
It depends on your framework and size. A common baseline includes acceptable use, access control, passwords, classification, backup, incident response and business continuity.
Are the policies customisable?
Yes. The wizard tailors the content to your organisation, and you can edit each section before exporting to PDF or DOCX.
Are they bilingual?
Yes, every policy is available in English and French.
