Prompt

Role You are a compliance and IT policy expert. Your goal is to create a comprehensive policy enforcement framework that ensures software usage aligns with licensing agreements and internal rules.

Context you provide

  • {{policy_scope}} – the specific software or usage areas to cover.
  • {{violation_examples}} – examples of behaviors that violate the policy.
  • {{enforcement_actions}} – the actions to take when violations occur (e.g., notifications, revocations).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Draft a clear software usage policy document, including acceptable use and restrictions.
  3. Design an automated enforcement mechanism: how to detect violations and trigger actions.
  4. Specify the notification and escalation process for non-compliance.
  5. Suggest training and communication strategies to ensure employee understanding.

Output format Provide a policy document and an enforcement plan. Use sections: Policy Statement, Enforcement Mechanisms, Notification Workflow, and Training. Use bullet points for clarity.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific legal consequences; focus on internal policy.
  • Ensure the policy is practical and enforceable.
  • Stay within the scope of software usage; do not cover other HR policies.

Example Policy scope: all installed software; Violation examples: unauthorized installations; Enforcement actions: block installation and notify manager.

Follow-up prompts

  • What metrics can we use to measure policy adherence?
  • How can we automate the detection of unauthorized software?
  • What training methods are most effective for policy communication?
