How it helps

How Cyber Policy Management works

This product connects with the wider Apollo platform, so information can support action, evidence and reporting without being entered again.

Feature 1

Make security policies specific to your organisation

Start from existing content or a prepared template, then reflect your own responsibilities and operating environment. Policies for access, acceptable use or incident response need clear owners and a practical review process.

  • Upload documents or author policy content
  • Maintain policy owners and review dates
  • Adapt templates to your operating context

Feature 2

Put technical review before publication

Keep proposed changes separate from the effective policy. Request review, respond to changes and retain the approval history so the published position is traceable.

  • Request independent review
  • Respond to proposed changes
  • Preserve approval and version history
Simplified illustrative policy review and approval workflow with fictional sample data

Feature 3

Put the approved policy in front of the right people

Use visibility and distribution controls to make the current security policy available to its audience. Track staff acknowledgements alongside the policy lifecycle, while recognising that acknowledgement alone does not demonstrate a control is operating.

  • Set role-based visibility
  • Publish the current approved version
  • Track staff policy acknowledgements

Questions and answers

Questions about Cyber Policy Management

Practical answers to common questions about managing this responsibility well.

What makes a cyber security policy useful?

A useful policy states the expected behaviour, scope, responsibilities and review arrangements in language its audience can follow. It should reflect the organisation's operating environment and connect to practical procedures rather than remain a generic statement of intent.

Who should review and approve IT security policies?

Include people who understand the technical controls and the responsibilities the policy creates. Give approval to the appropriate accountable authority under the organisation's governance arrangements, and keep the decision and effective version traceable.

When should a security policy be reviewed?

Set a review schedule appropriate to the policy's risk and purpose. Review sooner when material system changes, incidents or changes in responsibilities show that the current wording no longer reflects the intended approach.

Does staff acknowledgement prove a security policy is followed?

Acknowledgement records that staff have acknowledged a policy; it does not establish that the policy is understood or that a security control is effective. Use appropriate training, supervision and operational evidence alongside acknowledgements.

How should old and revised security policies be handled?

Keep proposed changes separate from the effective version, review and approve them before publication, and make the current policy easy to identify. Preserve the earlier versions and decision history so the organisation can explain what applied at a particular time.
