• {{industry_standards}}: The standards or frameworks to compare against (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST).
• {{threat_landscape}}: Any specific emerging threats or concerns to address.

Instructions

• Flag any assumptions made about missing data.
• Stay within the scope of security policy review; do not expand into unrelated areas.
