## Overview

Generate, validate, and maintain the complete ISMS policy and procedure set required for ISO 27001:2022 certification. The skill produces 10 document types — from the top-level Information Security Policy through operational procedures for incident management, access control, and business continuity — each tailored to the organization's specific context.

Every document follows a clause-aware template with proper document control metadata (Clause 7.5), mandatory topic coverage, and consistent terminology. The skill cross-references the organization profile, risk register, and Statement of Applicability to ensure policies reflect actual organizational practices rather than generic boilerplate.

For a step-by-step walkthrough of how this skill fits into the full ISMS flow, see the [**ISO 27001 ISMS workspace tutorial**](/learn/tutorials/iso27001-isms-workspace-guide/).

### What It Covers

- **Information Security Policy** (POL-001) — top-level policy with management commitment, objectives, and compliance framework
- **ISMS Manual** (MAN-001) — auditor orientation document summarizing the management system
- **4 mandatory procedures** — Document Control, Risk Management, Corrective Action, and the IS Policy itself
- **5 control-driven procedures** — Access Control, Incident Management, Asset Management, Change Management, Business Continuity/DR
- **Document control validation** — ensures all 9 Clause 7.5 metadata fields are complete
- **Mandatory topic checking** — verifies each policy covers all auditor-expected topics
- **Terminology consistency** — catches placeholder text, mixed normative language, and role title inconsistencies

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We need to generate the ISMS policy set for our ISO 27001 certification. We're a fintech company with 80 employees, running on AWS, subject to UK GDPR, PCI DSS, and FCA regulations.
>
> **Agent:** I'll help you build the complete policy set. Let me first check what context is available. Running `policy_template_selector`...
>
> **Recommended generation order:**
>
> | Priority | Document | ID | Tailoring Notes |
> |:--------:|----------|-----|----------------|
> | 1 | Information Security Policy | POL-001 | Fintech industry; reference UK GDPR, PCI DSS, FCA |
> | 2 | Document Control Procedure | PROC-007 | Define naming convention and approval workflow |

> | 7 | Asset Management Procedure | PROC-004 | Cloud-first classification scheme |
> | 8 | Change Management Procedure | PROC-005 | CI/CD pipeline, infrastructure as code |
> | 9 | Business Continuity Procedure | PROC-006 | AWS multi-AZ, RTO/RPO targets |
> | 10 | ISMS Manual | MAN-001 | Generate last — references all other documents |
>
> Let's start with POL-001 — the Information Security Policy. I'll generate it from the template, tailored to your fintech context. Here's the draft...
>
> **You:** The policy looks good. Can you validate it?
>
> **Agent:** Running `mandatory_topic_checker` on POL-001...
>
> **Result: 11/12 mandatory topics covered (92%)**
>
> | Topic | Status |
> |-------|--------|
> | Purpose and scope | Covered |
> | IS objectives | Covered |
> | Management commitment (Clause 5.1) | Covered |
> | Compliance requirements | Covered |
> | Risk management framework reference | Covered |
> | Roles and responsibilities | Covered |
> | Policy review cycle | Covered |
> | Communication and awareness | Covered |
> | Continuous improvement | Covered |
> | Sanctions for violations | Covered |
> | Alignment with business objectives | Covered |
> | Integration with business processes | **Missing** |
>
> I'll add a section on how information security integrates with your payment processing and customer onboarding workflows. Running `document_metadata_validator`...
>
> **Result: 8/9 metadata fields present**
> - Missing: `next_review_date` — I'll set it to 12 months from the approval date.
>
> Running `terminology_consistency_checker`...
> - Found 1 issue: Mixed usage of "CISO" and "Head of Information Security" — standardizing to "Head of Information Security" per your org profile.
>
> All validations pass after fixes. Shall I proceed with PROC-007 (Document Control)?

## Extension Tools

### `policy_template_selector`

Recommends which policies to generate based on available context (organization profile, SoA, risk register). Returns a prioritized list with tailoring notes per policy.

| Input | What It Uses |
|-------|-------------|
| Organization profile | Industry, tech stack, regulations → tailoring notes |
| Statement of Applicability | Included controls → which procedures are required |
| Risk register | Treated risks → which procedures need specific content |

### `document_metadata_validator`

Validates document control fields per Clause 7.5:

| Field | Severity |
|-------|----------|
| Document ID | ERROR if missing |
| Title | ERROR if missing |
| Version | ERROR if missing |
| Classification | WARNING if missing |
| Owner | ERROR if missing |
| Approved by | ERROR if missing |
| Effective date | ERROR if missing |
| Next review date | WARNING if missing |
| Change history | ERROR if missing |

Also detects placeholder text (`[Organization Name]`, `[YYYY-MM-DD]`, etc.) in metadata fields.

### `mandatory_topic_checker`

Validates policy content against required topics for its document type. Each of the 10 policy types has a defined set of mandatory topics with regex-based content detection.

Reports:
- Coverage percentage
- Covered topics with matching content
- Missing topics that need to be added
- Auditor expectations for each topic

### `terminology_consistency_checker`

Checks for five categories of inconsistency across policy documents:

| Check | What It Detects |
|-------|----------------|
| **Normative language** | Mixed "shall"/"must"/"will" — recommends standardizing on "shall" |
| **Placeholders** | Unfilled `[brackets]`, `TBD`, `TODO`, `XXX` text |
| **Organization name** | Name mismatches against the organization profile |
| **Role consistency** | Mixed titles for the same role (e.g., "CISO" vs. "Head of IS") |
| **Tech mismatches** | Technology references not found in the organization profile |

## Getting Started

Activate the *ISO 27001 Policy Generator* skill. For best results, complete these skills first:

1. **Organization Profile** — provides company context for automatic tailoring
2. **Risk Assessment** — identifies which risks drive procedure requirements
3. **Statement of Applicability** — determines which control-driven procedures are needed

Have this information ready:
- Your ISMS scope and organizational context
- Names and titles for policy owners and approvers
- Existing policies or procedures that should be incorporated
- Specific regulatory requirements (GDPR notification timelines, PCI DSS controls, etc.)
- Technology stack details for access control and change management procedures

The agent generates documents in dependency order — starting with the Information Security Policy and ending with the ISMS Manual. Each document goes through three automated validations (metadata, mandatory topics, terminology) before finalization.
