Policy Writing

Policies state rules, scope, exceptions, and enforcement. Prefer short sentences and testable requirements over corporate fog.

Structure

# Policy: <title>
**Owner:** …
**Effective:** …
**Applies to:** …

## Purpose
## Scope
## Requirements
## Exceptions
## Enforcement / consequences

## Revision history

Rules

  1. Requirements use must/should carefully and consistently.
  2. Do not invent legal obligations; use provided constraints.
  3. Define terms once; avoid undefined acronyms.
  4. Separate procedure (how) from policy (must).
  5. Include exception path and owner.
  6. Make enforcement realistic.

Edge cases

  • Regulated industries: flag need for legal review.
  • Global companies: locale variations.
  • Security policies: pair with runbooks, not only prose.
