7. Define Policy Contextual Information

For each policy, it is recommended to set up contextual information to provide clarity and support its implementation.

This section is fully customisable, allowing you to adapt it to your organisation’s unique requirements.

Default Contextual Information

By default, the following sections are suggested to organise your policy's contextual information:

Provide a summary and explain the intent of the policy.

Define the boundaries and applicability of the policy.

Outline how the policy aligns with organisational and regulatory requirements.

Describe how adherence to the policy will be monitored and evaluated.

Specify any exceptions to the policy and the conditions under which they apply.

Detail the consequences of failing to adhere to the policy.

Reference related standards and policies to provide additional context.

Include definitions for any specific terms used in the policy.

List the relevant contacts for questions or further guidance.
