- Data handling and retention policies
- Network segmentation requirements

### Monitoring and Audit
- Required logging for each risk tier
- Audit trail specifications
- Performance monitoring thresholds
- Incident response procedures

### Policy Enforcement
- Technical controls and guardrails
- Policy violation detection
- Automated enforcement mechanisms
- Manual review triggers

## Implementation Plan
- Phased rollout strategy
- Training requirements for teams
- Policy testing and validation approach
- Metrics for policy effectiveness

## Documentation Format
Provide policies in structured format suitable for:
