The short version
What is the Policy and Procedure Template?
The Policy and Procedure Template is a free, standard way to write a policy and its procedures in one place. It gives you a consistent structure, purpose, scope, policy statement, roles and responsibilities, procedure steps, references, and revision history, plus version, owner, approver, and effective-date fields and an acknowledgement line. Most policy programs start as Word documents passed around by email, so the template is built to match how a policy owner already works and to carry over cleanly when you decide to manage versions, approvals, and attestations in a platform. It doubles as a policy template and an example of policy structure you can adapt to any topic, and it pairs with the rest of RiskWatch Policy Management.
