Most companies already have employees using AI. Far fewer have a written policy that says what is allowed. This AI policy template gives your security, legal, and IT teams a working starting point: a complete AI policy, guidelines, and guardrails document you can adapt and adopt, instead of drafting one from a blank page.
Who this AI policy template is for
- CISOs and security teams who need rules for AI use, AI agents, and AI-specific threats such as prompt injection and data leakage.
- Legal, privacy, and compliance leaders who must show regulators, auditors, and customers that AI use is governed.
- IT and procurement teams reviewing AI vendors and the AI features that arrive inside existing software.
- Product and engineering leaders building or deploying AI who need clear approval and oversight requirements.
- Founders and operations leaders at growing companies that need a credible AI governance policy without a dedicated governance team.
Why your organization needs a generative AI policy now
Unapproved AI use is the fastest-growing source of data exposure in most companies. Employees paste customer data, source code, and contracts into public AI tools. AI agents act on company systems with little oversight. Regulators and enterprise customers increasingly ask for proof of AI governance during audits, security reviews, and procurement. A written policy is the first control all of that depends on, and technical enforcement is what makes it stick.
