Policies that match your environment
CMMC requires documented policies, and they do double duty. They define expectations for how your organization operates, and they demonstrate that security requirements are met. The Policies module generates your policy set customized to your environment, so you start from a strong, tailored draft instead of a blank page. You review each policy, adjust as needed, and then publish.
Your policies are customized automatically. Policy content adapts to the technology you connected for your CUI enclave (Microsoft GCC High, Google Workspace, Virtual Desktops, and Federal MDM) and to your scoping answers, so your policies describe what you actually run and never claim something you scoped out. If your enclave uses GCC High, your policies say so; if you scoped out wireless, no wireless language appears. Organization-specific details like your company name and security contacts populate across every policy from the placeholder values you enter once.
These are your policies, not boilerplate. Everything is editable, and the review workflow is built for you to shape each one around how your organization runs before it is published.
Working through the module
Policy source selection: Choose to use Secureframe's CMMC policy templates or upload your own existing policies. The templates are fully editable and tailored to your environment.
Placeholder values: Enter organization-specific details (like company name and security contacts) that auto-populate across all policies.
Review, adjust, and publish: Work through each policy with a guided review workflow. You will see what is required, what is optional, and what is already covered. Adjust anything you want, then publish.
Note: Policies are automatically linked to their corresponding CMMC requirements in your SSP. No manual mapping required.
After publishing
Published policies are assigned to your personnel, who review and accept them when they join the platform. Every acceptance is recorded, so policy acknowledgment becomes evidence without anyone chasing signatures.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I edit Secureframe's policy templates?
Yes, fully. The templates are a tailored starting point, and the review workflow is designed for you to adjust them to match how your organization operates before publishing.
Can I use the policies we already have?
Yes. You can upload your own existing policies instead of using Secureframe's templates.
Why does my policy mention specific technology like GCC High or Virtual Desktops?
Policy content adapts to the technology connected in your CUI enclave, so your policies accurately describe your environment. Language for technology you do not use does not appear.
I connected an integration, but my policies do not mention it. Why?
Policy content covers your CUI enclave technology (GCC High, Google Workspace, Virtual Desktops, and Federal MDM). Other connected integrations appear as conditional sections when editing a policy, and you can add your own content to those sections.
I connected new technology. Did my published policies change?
No. Published policies stay exactly as your team accepted them. To bring a published policy up to date, open it, refresh its tokens so the new sections display, and republish. If the policy requires employee acceptance, you will be asked at publish whether to reset existing acceptances. Choose to reset them and everyone assigned to the policy is prompted to accept the updated version.
How do employees accept policies?
When you invite personnel to Secureframe, each person reviews and accepts their assigned policies, and acceptance is recorded as evidence.
