Policy management
A library of 50+ framework-mapped policy templates you fill in, approve, and export as branded PDFs, or draft from scratch with AI. A register tracks owners, review dates, and coverage gaps.
| Policy | Owner | Version | Status | Next review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Information Security | Security lead | v2.1 | Approved | Mar 2027 |
| Access Control | IT lead | v1.4 | Approved | Jan 2027 |
| Incident Response | Security lead | v1.2 | In review | Due |
| Acceptable Use | HR | v1.0 | Overdue | Overdue |
Policies are the paperwork every audit demands and every team dreads. Keel gives you original, framework-mapped templates to tailor, AI that drafts a clean first version from a name, and one-click branded PDF export, so “write an access-control policy” stops being a week of copy-paste from a competitor’s leaked doc.
Nobody wants to write policies from a blank page
The alternatives are worse: paste a generic template that doesn’t match how you actually operate, or copy a PDF you found online and hope it maps to your framework. Neither survives an auditor reading it closely.
What policy management does
A searchable library of 50+ templates
Start from a searchable library of 50+ policies (Information Security, Access Control, Incident Response, Data Retention, and more) each written to map to the controls your framework expects. Filter by framework and create an editable draft with your company details pre-filled, then tailor the specifics.
A policy register with coverage
See your whole library at a glance with search, status filters, owners, and review-due dates, and bulk status changes. A coverage checklist shows which recommended policies you still need for your frameworks. Create any gap straight from a template.
AI drafting you can steer
Name a policy and Keel writes a clean, framework-mapped first draft right in the editor. See and edit the exact prompt before it runs, and optionally ground the draft in your own controls, evidence, and existing policies, so it reads like your program, not lorem ipsum.
Consistent structure, every time
Every policy is built on the same backbone (title, owner, effective and review dates, scope, and a revision history), so a majority of frameworks find the sections they expect and your set reads as one coherent library.
Automatic revision history
Each time you save a change, Keel records a new version automatically. The revision table on every policy is the change record auditors ask for, kept without anyone remembering to log it.
Import and clean up with AI
Drop in a messy Word doc or an old policy and Keel rewrites it into tidy, framework-mapped Markdown you can approve. No re-typing, no reformatting.
Approve and export branded PDFs
Move a policy through draft → approved, then export a branded, print-ready PDF with your logo and details, the artifact your auditor and customers actually want.
Publish to your trust center
Approved policies can be surfaced (or offered as downloads) on your public trust center, so prospects can self-serve the proof they’d otherwise email you for.
Why it matters
- Go from zero policies to an approved, branded set in an afternoon
- Track owners, review cadence, and coverage gaps across your whole policy set
- Steer the AI (see the prompt, use your own content) before spending a credit
- Keep every policy on one consistent structure auditors recognize
- Get a revision history automatically, without logging changes by hand
- Hand auditors and prospects polished PDFs, not Google Docs links

How many policy templates are there?
A library of 50+ framework-mapped templates spanning ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, CIS Controls, ISO 9001 and more. You can search and filter by framework, and any policy can be reset back to its template later without losing your document-control fields.
Are the policy templates generic boilerplate?
No. They’re original, written to map to real framework controls, and meant to be tailored. The AI drafting and import-cleanup both produce framework-mapped Markdown you edit and own.
Can I see what the AI will do before it runs?
Yes. You can review and edit the exact prompt before drafting, and choose whether to ground the draft in your own controls, evidence, and existing policies, so nothing is a black box and no credit is spent until you say go.
Where does the revision history come from?
It’s automatic. Every time you save a policy, Keel records a new version, so the revision table stays accurate without anyone maintaining it by hand.
Can I import our existing policies?
Yes. Import a document and Keel’s AI rewrites it into clean, framework-mapped Markdown you can approve and export, so your existing work isn’t wasted.
Do approved policies count as audit evidence?
Approved, exported policies are exactly the artifacts auditors expect, and they can be attached as evidence against the controls they satisfy and published to your trust center.
Does the AI drafting use credits?
AI drafting and cleanup are credit-metered, with an allotment included on every paid plan. Tailoring and exporting policies you’ve already drafted doesn’t.
