Skip the blank page, keep the substance.
Most small and mid-sized businesses in Australia don't have a documented set of information security policies at all. Auditors, insurers, and enterprise customers increasingly expect to see one before they'll do business with you.
Writing a full policy suite from scratch takes weeks most teams don't have. This pack gives you a working starting point instead: each document reflects the structure assessors actually look for under frameworks like ISO 27001 and the Essential Eight, so you're editing real content rather than guessing at what belongs in each section.
Downloading a pack is the easy part. Getting real value out of it means treating each document as a first draft, not a final one — read through it with your own environment in mind, remove anything that doesn't apply, and have someone outside IT sign off before it goes live. A policy nobody's read isn't much better than no policy at all.
What an information security policy is for
An information security policy sets out how your organisation protects information and who is responsible. Auditors and customers expect one, and most frameworks build on it.
The ISO/IEC 27001 standard asks for a top-level information security policy approved by management (clause 5.2) and a set of topic-specific policies beneath it (Annex A control 5.1 in the 2022 edition). The exact set you need depends on your risks, scope and any customer or regulatory requirements.
Policies commonly included
- Acceptable use
- Asset management
- HR security
- Further core policies in the pack
Make the templates your own
- Replace placeholder names, roles and systems with your own

- Get the final version approved by management and communicate it to staff
- Review it at planned intervals and after significant changes
Information security policy template questions
What is an information security policy template?
A pre-written policy document with the standard sections already in place, so you edit it to fit your organisation instead of writing from a blank page.
Which policies does ISO 27001 require?
ISO/IEC 27001 requires an information security policy (clause 5.2), and Annex A control 5.1 expects topic-specific policies approved by management. Which topics you need depends on your risk assessment and scope.
Can I use the templates as they are?
They are a starting point. Adapt each one to your environment, roles and risks, and have management approve it before you rely on it in an audit.
