Define a clear security strategy and policy framework so business units, delivery teams, and suppliers make consistent security decisions aligned to priorities and obligations.

Security strategy and policy translate risk appetite and obligations into practical guidance: what must be protected, what “good” looks like, and how exceptions are handled.

Outcomes

  • Shared understanding of security priorities and decision criteria
  • Consistent policies and standards across products and teams
  • Reduced friction from unclear or conflicting guidance
  • Faster approvals through well-defined exception pathways
  • Stronger defensibility during audits and after incidents

Typical scope

  • Security principles (e.g., least privilege, defense-in-depth)
  • Policy library and standards (baseline requirements)
  • Exception process (risk acceptance, compensating controls)
  • Metrics and reporting (policy adoption, exception volume, residual risk)

GenAI-enabled execution

Specialised agents can help keep policies current by summarizing changes in regulations and internal standards, drafting updates, and mapping policy text to controls—guardrailed by human approval and traceable sources.
