The Information Classification and Handling Policy Template is a key policy in determining what our information classification is and as a result of the classification how we protect it. This policy sets out each information classification in detail and exactly what needs to happen for its protection. It covers the entire lifecycle of information, all the way through to it’s destruction.
A vital policy for ISO 27001 certification and in making you more secure.

Why Start with Templates Instead of Automation?
If you are an early-stage business with under 10 people, jumping straight into automated compliance platforms (like Vanta or Drata) is often premature and expensive. Before you automate, you must first define your core processes.
- Build the Foundation: Our templates help you map your real-world processes before you force them into an automation tool.
- Cost-Effective: You aren’t paying monthly platform fees while you are still in the early stages of building your ISMS.
- No Tool Lock-in: You retain complete ownership and control of your documentation.
When you are ready to scale and automate, you will already have a robust, audited, and compliant foundation in place.
