Frequently asked questions

Is the Access Control Policy ready for audit?

Each draft is generated from your organisation profile and mapped to the controls and frameworks that apply. First-run is a review of the drafts; publishing and PDFs unlock after you choose a plan.

How is this policy kept current?

You review and edit the draft before anything is published. Change monitoring and scheduled reviews exist in the product and will surface as they land — they are not first-run today.

Can we tailor the policy to our organisation?

Yes — every section is editable, and the AI drafting engine pre-fills organisation-specific context (jurisdiction, sector, size, key systems) before you start.
