Policy & Minimum Controls Pack – practical, right-sized guardrails for your business.
Executive Add-On • “Reasonable Steps” • Policy & Controls

Policy & Minimum Controls Pack

Insurers, customers and staff increasingly expect some basic guardrails: acceptable use, remote work rules, password and MFA expectations, and backup / incident basics. This pack tunes core policies and minimum controls so you can demonstrate “reasonable steps” without turning into a bureaucracy.

Often paired with the Executive IT Strategy Club or IT Spend Baseline, but can also be delivered as a standalone engagement.

Common questions

Are these legal documents?

They are practical, plain-English policies and baselines aligned with common insurer and industry expectations. They are not a substitute for legal advice; we’re happy to work with your counsel if required.

Can we roll this out in phases?

Yes. We’ll identify which expectations and controls should be mandatory now and which can be phased in as your environment matures.

Will staff actually read these?

We aim for concise, readable documents and provide simple talking points or email templates you can use to introduce them without overwhelming people.
