Cybersecurity Policy Review
Cybersecurity Policy Review
Our experts review your existing cybersecurity policy library to ensure policies are up-to-date, aligned with your mission, and effective in practice. Depending on your needs, we can identify gaps, provide recommendations, or draft new policies, where appropriate—delivering clear, actionable insights to strengthen your security posture and support organizational goals.
Why is it important?
Ineffective or aging policies can undermine your entire cybersecurity program. Our Policy Review ensures your documentation is up-to-date with modern threats, industry standards, and regulatory expectations. Clear, current policies form the foundation of your cybersecurity program—reinforcing accountability, reducing ambiguity, and promoting consistency in safeguards to support both strategic decision-making and daily operations.
How does it work?
Our Cybersecurity Policy Review process is customized to your organization’s needs. We start by evaluating your existing cybersecurity policies to identify gaps, overlaps, or outdated content. From there, we provide tailored recommendations to strengthen alignment with your objectives, industry standards, and regulatory expectations. When needed, we can also draft new policies to help you build a more complete and effective policy library.
Frequently Asked Questions
What standards or frameworks do you use to evaluate our cybersecurity policies?
Our subject matter experts have deep experience across a wide range of frameworks, including NIST CSF, CRF Safeguards, ISO/IEC 27001, and CIS Controls. We tailor each review to your organization’s specific needs, aligning with the frameworks that matter most to your industry, risk profile, and objectives—ensuring relevant, standards-based evaluation of your policies and safeguards.
How long does a Cybersecurity Policy Review typically take?
The duration of a cybersecurity policy review depends on the number of existing policies and whether new ones need to be developed. Timelines can range from a few weeks to longer, based on your specific scope. We’re happy to discuss your objectives and design a review plan tailored to your needs and priorities.
Who needs to be involved from our end?
Engaging diverse perspectives helps ensure policies are practical, enforceable, and aligned with business objectives. Policy reviews work best with input from a cross-section of the organization such as IT, legal, HR and Executive Sponsorship to ensure alignment and support. We’ll help you identify the right participants based on your structure and goals.
Is a Cybersecurity Policy Review suitable for cybersecurity audit or compliance prep?
Yes, a policy review is a great fit to prepare for cybersecurity audits or compliance. It helps ensure your documentation is current, complete, and aligned with requirements. Many of our clients engage us pre-audits, using our reviews to strengthen readiness and streamline the path to certification such as SOC 2 or ISO/IEC 27001.
How often should we do a Cybersecurity Policy Review?
A cybersecurity policy review is ideally performed annually to ensure policies stay current with evolving threats, technologies, and standards. Targeted deep dives into specific domains can be done throughout the year, as needed. We’re happy to discuss your specific goals and help design a review approach that fits your organization’s needs.
Why shouldn’t I just download cybersecurity policies from the web?
Templates can be a great starting point—and we fully support using them when they fit. In fact, we’ve contributed our expertise to the SANS Institute’s Security Policy Templates to help organizations get started. But when your environment is more complex or you need policies that truly reflect your mission, vision, and values, that’s where we come in. We tailor, refine, and build policies that are not just compliant—but practical and actionable for your organization.
How can I be sure my new cybersecurity policies cover all my compliance and regulatory requirements?
Our policy library is pre-mapped to dozens of major compliance and regulatory initiatives. When we create or update your policies, you benefit from this comprehensive foundation—ensuring your documentation aligns with the requirements that matter most to your organization, without starting from scratch.
What deliverables can I expect from a Cybersecurity Policy Review?
You’ll receive a complete set of up-to-date, relevant cybersecurity policies—customized to your organization and nearly ready to implement (yes, they’re only missing your logo). We handle updates to existing policies and create new ones where needed, so you can stay focused on your priorities while we do the heavy lifting.
