 We have been using the enclosed template for a few years, and it has worked well for us.

Subject: [SECURITY] Best practice: IT polices and standards

Hello Folks,

My department is currently planning to revamp our IT Policies. We lack consistency and I am striving to create a 
cohesive and uniform style for all IT polices and standards (current and new). 

There are varying ways University IT Policies are configured and structured - some very detailed and others not -  I 
was wondering if any of you have a Policy template you find successful and would be willing to share your template. 
Further, perhaps you'd also be willing to share your interpretation of why you find your format success?

I am currently considering to appropriate Cornell University's style, but some aspects may be beyond our departmental 
abilities - note, we do not have a University Policy Office.

Please feel free to contact me direct.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Nick
