What Happens If You Don’t Use Our Infosec Policy Template?

 

Writing information security policies from scratch isn’t just painful — it’s a proven recipe for procrastination. You’ll waste hours researching formats, second-guess every sentence, and likely end up with something incomplete, non-compliant, or abandoned altogether.

... and while your policy sits unfinished in a dusty draft folder, your firm stays exposed to:

❌ Wasted time rewriting policies from bad templates
❌ “We’ll do it later” turning into months and years
❌ Increased legal and reputational risk when something goes wrong
❌ Frustration that kills momentum and derails your security program
❌ A gap your competitors are actively closing right now

❌ Audit failures because you can’t prove compliance
❌ Missed deadlines for FTC, GLBA, or IRS 4557 mandates
❌ Confusion around roles, reviews, and responsibilities
❌ Client questions you can’t confidently answer
❌ Leadership blind spots around accountability

A No-Nonsense Template for Security Policy That Works

 

Compliance Without the Legalese

You don’t need to sound like a lawyer. Our IT policy template is clear, editable, and mapped to real regulatory expectations.

Save Time and Prove Due Diligence

No more blank pages. Just download and edit a real-world structure already aligned with FTC Safeguards RUle, IRS 4557, NIST, and more.

Build Your Entire Security Policy

This policy template provides the foundation for your whole infosec program. Start here, then scale across our full iO-GRCF™ framework.

We know how frustrating it is to start from scratch — especially when you're not a compliance expert. Writing policies alone can be overwhelming — and risky if done wrong. You shouldn’t have to waste hours trying to figure out what a ‘good policy’ even looks like. That’s why we created a real-world information security policy template based on the GOV domain from our WISP (Written Information Security Program).

At Input Output, we know you want to be a confident, compliant business. In order to do that, you need a real security policy that proves your governance and intent.


The problem is most templates are vague, overly technical, or just plain confusing — which makes you feel frustrated, exposed, and unsure where to start.


We believe security policies should be simple, compliant, and easy to build on.


We understand how painful it is to start from scratch or review low-quality templates, which is why we created our GOV domain template security policy — based on regulatory expectations and designed for real-world use.


Here’s how it works: 

  1. Download the template, 
  2. Edit the fields, 
  3. Roll out your first real infosec policy.


So, download the GOV domain IT security policy template now, and in the meantime, check out the blog to understand what makes a policy actually compliant.


So you can stop guessing and rewriting from scratch, and instead start building a security program that scales with you.
