Copilot Governance Policy Template

A fill-in acceptable use policy covering data handling, human review, prohibited uses, prompt hygiene, incident reporting and sign-off.

About This Resource

Rolling out Copilot without a governance policy leaves confidentiality, accuracy and acceptable-use expectations unwritten until something goes wrong. This fill-in template sets out acceptable use, data handling and confidentiality rules, human-review requirements for external-facing output, prohibited uses, prompt hygiene guidance, an incident-reporting process, a review cadence, and a staff acknowledgement and sign-off block ready to issue alongside licence rollout.

What's Included

  • Acceptable use statement and data-handling rules covering tenant data boundaries
  • Human-review requirements for external-facing and factual output
  • Prohibited-use list covering prompt engineering and confidential data
  • Prompt hygiene guidance and an incident-reporting process
  • Review cadence and a staff sign-off / acknowledgement block

Who Is This For?

IT managers, compliance owners and HR teams at UK SMEs issuing a formal acceptable-use policy alongside Copilot licensing.
