Governance

AI Policy Document Generator

Corporate policies must be clear, consistent, and aligned with regulatory requirements. Vespper helps you draft, update, and maintain policy documents with full version control and traceability to the standards they implement.

1. Information Security Policies

Information security frameworks require documented policies that define the organization's approach to protecting information assets.

ISO 27001:2022 Annex A

  • 93 controls across organizational, people, physical, and technological domains requiring documented policies
  • Information security policy, acceptable use policy, and access control policy as foundational documents
  • Policy alignment with risk assessment results and Statement of Applicability

NIST Cybersecurity Framework & CIS Controls v8

  • Policy implementation guidance mapped to NIST CSF functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover
  • CIS Controls v8 Implementation Group policies appropriate to organizational maturity
  • Policy gap analysis methodology against framework requirements
Impact on documentation
  • ISO 27001 certification auditors verify that documented policies exist for all applicable Annex A controls
  • Missing policies for implemented controls create audit non-conformities even when practices are in place

2. Privacy Policy Requirements

Privacy regulations mandate specific transparency and information requirements that must be documented in privacy policies.

GDPR Articles 12-14

  • Transparency requirements for information provided to data subjects
  • Processing purpose, legal basis, and retention period documentation
  • Data subject rights information including access, rectification, erasure, and portability

CCPA/CPRA & HIPAA

  • CCPA/CPRA privacy notice requirements including categories of personal information and sharing disclosures
  • HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices content requirements for covered entities
  • COPPA parental consent and privacy policy requirements for children's data
Impact on documentation
  • GDPR fines for transparency failures have reached tens of millions of euros
  • HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices must be provided to every patient and made available on website

3. Corporate Governance Policies

Regulatory and legal requirements mandate documented corporate governance policies for publicly traded and regulated entities.

SOX and Anti-Corruption

  • SOX compliance policies including internal controls, financial reporting, and whistleblower procedures
  • Code of conduct and ethics policy requirements for officers and directors
  • Anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies addressing FCPA, UK Bribery Act, and local laws

Whistleblower and Ethics

  • Dodd-Frank whistleblower protection policy requirements
  • Anonymous reporting channel documentation and investigation procedures
  • Board-level oversight documentation for compliance program effectiveness
Impact on documentation
  • Missing whistleblower policies expose the organization to Dodd-Frank anti-retaliation claims
  • SOX compliance requires documented policies for every material financial reporting control

4. Operational Policy Standards

Operational policies document the organization's approach to business continuity, incident response, and vendor management.

Business Continuity & Incident Response

  • Business continuity policy per ISO 22301 including recovery objectives and testing requirements
  • Incident response policy per NIST SP 800-61 with classification, escalation, and communication procedures
  • Change management policy documenting approval workflow and rollback procedures

Vendor Risk Management

  • Third-party risk management policy with due diligence requirements and ongoing monitoring
  • Vendor classification methodology based on data access and criticality
  • Contractual compliance requirements and SLA documentation standards
Impact on documentation
  • Organizations without documented incident response policies face higher regulatory scrutiny after breaches
  • Vendor management policy gaps are a top finding in SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits

5. Policy Lifecycle Management

Policies must be managed through a documented lifecycle including approval, distribution, training, and periodic review.

Policy Management Requirements

  • Policy review and approval workflow with designated policy owners and approvers
  • Version control and document management with change tracking
  • Employee acknowledgment and training documentation requirements
  • Policy exception and waiver documentation with approval authority
Impact on documentation
  • Policies without documented review cycles are considered stale and create audit findings
  • Missing employee acknowledgments undermine the organization's ability to enforce policy requirements

What happens when documentation falls short

  • Regulatory non-compliance from outdated or missing policies discovered during audit
  • Audit findings from documented policy-to-practice gaps
  • Legal liability from unenforced policies cited in employment or breach litigation
  • Employee misconduct claims citing inadequate policy documentation or training
  • Insurance claim denials from inadequate policy documentation
