A security baseline and evidence roadmap that match reality.

402InfoSec helps small businesses identify the controls that matter, clarify ownership, prioritize useful policies, and structure evidence without creating fake commitments or an enterprise-sized maturity exercise.

Copied policies create risk.

A policy is not helpful if nobody understands it, nobody follows it, or it promises controls the business does not actually operate.

Security documentation should describe how the business works today, what it expects from people and vendors, who owns key decisions, and what will improve next. Good policies reduce confusion. Bad policies create false confidence.

When this helps

  • A customer or vendor asked for written policies.
  • A security questionnaire exposed documentation gaps.
  • Cyber insurance asks whether policies exist.
  • SOC 2 readiness requires control narratives and evidence.
  • Your current policies are copied, outdated, too vague, or too enterprise-heavy.
  • Nobody knows who owns access, backups, vendor review, incident response, or employee offboarding.
  • You need documentation people can actually defend.

What 402InfoSec can help create

  • Information security policy

  • Acceptable use policy
  • Password and MFA standard
  • Vendor risk policy
  • Incident response plan
  • Business continuity and recovery notes
  • Data handling and classification guidance
  • Asset and account ownership notes
  • Change management notes
  • Employee onboarding/offboarding security checklist
  • Evidence checklist
  • Control narratives
  • Security questionnaire answer-library notes
  • Maintenance and review cadence

What makes this different

Plain-English

Documentation written for real owners, operators, teams, and reviewers, not just auditors.

Reality-based

Policies should match what your business can actually do today while identifying what needs to mature next.

Questionnaire-ready

Language and evidence notes are shaped around the questions customers, insurers, vendors, and auditors tend to ask.

Defensible

The goal is documentation your team can explain, follow, and update.

What you may receive

  • Policy package
  • Control narratives
  • Evidence checklist
  • Ownership notes
  • Documentation gap summary
  • Questionnaire response notes
  • Maintenance recommendations
  • 30/60/90 documentation roadmap

What this is not

  • Not copied boilerplate
  • Not a guarantee of compliance
  • Not legal advice
  • Not a CPA attestation
  • Not a replacement for leadership ownership
  • Not a promise that every reviewer will accept every answer

Policy and evidence questions.

Can policies help with SOC 2?

Yes. SOC 2 readiness often requires policies, control descriptions, ownership clarity, and evidence that shows how controls operate. 402InfoSec can help prepare those materials before or alongside auditor conversations.

Can policies help with security questionnaires?

Yes. Many questionnaires ask whether specific policies exist. Better documentation can support clearer, more consistent answers.

Do you use templates?

Templates can help with structure, but the final documentation should reflect the business's real tools, people, vendors, workflows, and risk decisions.

Can you write policies for a very small business?

Yes. Small businesses often need shorter, clearer policies, not enterprise documents that nobody will use.
