Questions

Policy questions, answered.

How many policies do we actually need?

Fewer than most templates suggest. Usually a short core set, plus the standards that make them work.

Can you use policies we already have?

Yes. We keep what fits and rewrite what doesn't.

How do we know whether awareness training is working?

Watch behavior, not quiz scores: who reports suspicious email, and whether the same mistakes keep happening.

This article explains the documentation sequence, identifies who owns each category, and clarifies what adequate preparation looks like.
