Almost every compliance framework, cyber insurance application, and security audit asks the same question: "Do you have documented IT policies?" For most small and mid-sized businesses in Rochester, the answer is "sort of" — a copy/paste template downloaded years ago that doesn't reflect how the business actually operates. Hurricane Technologies builds plain-language IT policy documentation that's specific to your business and ready for audit.
Policies we build
- Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
- Incident Response Plan (IRP)
- Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
- Vendor / Third-Party Risk Management
- Data Classification and Handling
- Access Control and Identity Management
- Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan (BC/DR)
- Acceptable AI Use (a newer one, increasingly asked about)
Why generic templates fail
Downloaded policy templates fail audits because they don't match what the business actually does. An auditor will ask follow-up questions — "who reviews vendor risk assessments?", "when was your incident response plan last tested?" — and the answers had better match the document. We write security policies that reflect your real operations and update them as your business changes.
