Keep security policies connected to practice
Compare written policies with settings in Okta and GitHub, chase outstanding acknowledgments, and prepare policy reviews with a record of what changed.
Tools for policy
MCP servers for the tools used in these examples.
Automation examples and starter prompts
Paste a prompt into Claude Code, Microsoft Copilot, or Codex connected to Tracecat MCP. Adapt it to your tools and test before deployment. Human tool approvals and advanced case features require Enterprise.
Chase policy acknowledgments
Build me a policy acknowledgment tracker in Tracecat. Pull the employee roster from Okta, compare it against policy acceptance records in Vanta, and track outstanding acknowledgments in a Tracecat table. DM each person on Slack with the policy link, escalate to their manager after two reminders, and post a completion summary to the compliance channel every Friday. First help me understand how this maps to GV.PO-01 and why acknowledgment records are the enforcement evidence auditors ask for. Ask me which policies require annual acknowledgment and how many reminders to send before escalating. Talk me through whether the chase should run as one scheduled workflow or as an agent that handles replies and exceptions.
Detect drift between policy and reality
Build me a policy drift checker in Tracecat. Read our access control and change management policies from Notion, then compare what they promise against live settings: MFA enforcement and session lifetime in Okta, branch protection and review rules in GitHub. Record each mismatch in a Tracecat table and open a Jira ticket per drift item with the policy line and the actual setting side by side. First help me understand how this maps to GV.PO-02 and why policies decay when nobody compares them to running systems. Ask me where our policies live and which two policies to start with. Talk me through running this as a monthly scheduled workflow versus a skill I invoke before each audit.
Keep policy reviews on schedule
Build me a policy review tracker in Tracecat. Keep a table of every policy with its owner, last review date, and review cycle. Each week, find policies due or overdue for review, open a Linear issue assigned to the owner, and have an AI agent draft a Gmail brief listing what changed since the last review: new regulations, new technology we adopted, and incidents that touched the policy area. First help me understand how this maps to GV.PO-02 and what a healthy review cycle looks like when the review itself stays human judgment. Ask me how many policies we have and what review cycle each one should get. Talk me through whether overdue reviews should escalate automatically or just keep appearing in the weekly digest.
NIST CSF 2.0 mapping: GV.PO
Official NIST category: Policy. Organizational cybersecurity policy is established, communicated, and enforced
The controls and implementation examples below are NIST source material. The automation prompts above are Tracecat-authored starting points, not evidence of compliance or full control coverage.
- GV.PO-01AC-1AT-1AU-1CA-1CM-1CP-1IA-1IR-1MA-1MP-1PE-1PL-1PM-1PS-1PT-1RA-1SA-1SC-1SI-1SR-1
Policy for managing cybersecurity risks is established based on organizational context, cybersecurity strategy, and priorities and is communicated and enforced
- Create, disseminate, and maintain an understandable, usable risk management policy with statements of management intent, expectations, and direction
- Periodically review policy and supporting processes and procedures to ensure that they align with risk management strategy objectives and priorities, as well as the high-level direction of the cybersecurity policy
- Require approval from senior management on policy
- Communicate cybersecurity risk management policy and supporting processes and procedures across the organization
- Require personnel to acknowledge receipt of policy when first hired, annually, and whenever policy is updated
- GV.PO-02AC-1AT-1AU-1CA-1CM-1CP-1IA-1IR-1MA-1MP-1PE-1PL-1PM-1PS-1PT-1RA-1SA-1SC-1SI-1SR-1
Policy for managing cybersecurity risks is reviewed, updated, communicated, and enforced to reflect changes in requirements, threats, technology, and organizational mission
- Update policy based on periodic reviews of cybersecurity risk management results to ensure that policy and supporting processes and procedures adequately maintain risk at an acceptable level
- Provide a timeline for reviewing changes to the organization's risk environment (e.g., changes in risk or in the organization's mission objectives), and communicate recommended policy updates
- Update policy to reflect changes in legal and regulatory requirements
- Update policy to reflect changes in technology (e.g., adoption of artificial intelligence) and changes to the business (e.g., acquisition of a new business, new contract requirements)
