Information Security Policies

Policy Management
Software

Create and maintain your enterprise-wide policies with Tandem

Policies and procedures are the primary methods organizations use to define controls. Too often, policies and procedures end up sitting on a desk and collecting dust.

With Tandem Policy Management software, you can maintain a living set of policies that is easily accessible.

Information Security Policies

Use Tandem Policies to access a complete list of 50+ information security policy templates, created by security experts and tailored for your institution through a multiple-choice questionnaire.

Enterprise-Wide Policies

In addition to Information Security policies, create your own custom categories (e.g. Lending, Operations, Human Resources, etc.).

While policy language is not provided for custom categories, you can add your existing language and use Tandem's tracking features.

Tracking & Oversight

Never lose track of a single change. Every time a policy is saved, a version is stored in Tandem for comparing over time and reporting to the board.

Use the revision logs and meeting agendas to make maintenance easy.
