POLICIES & CONTROLS

Turn AI principles into practical rules. Build controls your teams can apply.

GLIE Legal helps organisations develop AI policies, procedures and control documentation tailored to how their teams actually work.

We translate agreed governance objectives and identified risks into clear instructions: what is permitted, what requires review, who is responsible and what evidence should be retained.

Discuss your AI policies and controls

Who this service is for

For organisations that need clear, usable rules for developing, procuring or using AI across their operations.

Businesses introducing AI tools without a consistent internal policy.
Organisations updating existing rules for generative AI and other AI-enabled tools.
Legal, compliance, procurement and operational teams translating assessment findings into practical safeguards.
Organisations seeking clearer documentation, control ownership and evidence of implementation.

From policy statements to everyday safeguards

The document set is selected around your AI activities, existing governance arrangements and priority risks, rather than a fixed library of generic templates.

AI policy and acceptable use

Define the organisation’s approach to AI, approved uses, restrictions and review requirements. Translate these into practical guidance for employees and other authorised users.

Information handling and output review

Set rules for entering information into AI tools, handling confidential material and reviewing outputs before they are relied on, shared or incorporated into business work.

Procurement and supplier controls

Develop supplier questionnaires, review checklists and procurement procedures. Where agreed, support AI-specific contract provisions and the documentation of supplier responsibilities.

Human review and operational checks

Document review responsibilities, approval conditions and escalation routes for selected use cases. Define when users should seek advice, override an output or pause an activity.

Change and incident procedures

Establish practical steps for reporting concerns, recording incidents and reviewing material changes to AI tools or their intended use. Assign owners and define internal handovers.

Control ownership and evidence

Connect each agreed control with an owner, an operating procedure and supporting records. Define review intervals and how exceptions or implementation gaps should be documented.

Documentation with a practical purpose

Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include:

An AI policy and acceptable use rules.
Role-specific instructions and review checklists.
Information-handling and AI output review procedures.
An AI supplier questionnaire and procurement review checklist.
AI-specific contract provisions, where included in the engagement.
Change, incident and exception-handling procedures.
A control register with owners, evidence requirements and review points.
An adoption plan and document-owner briefing.

Each document is developed for an agreed purpose and audience. Existing policies are reviewed for reuse or amendment before new documentation is proposed.

How the engagement works

Review the current position

Understand the AI uses in scope, existing documentation, identified risks and the practical questions your teams need answered.
Agree the document and control set

Define the policies, procedures and controls to be developed, their intended users and the people responsible for approval.
Draft and validate

Develop the agreed materials and walk through practical scenarios with relevant teams to test clarity and usability.
Prepare for adoption

Finalise the materials, identify implementation actions and brief document owners on responsibilities, records and review arrangements.

Clear documentation. Defined responsibilities.

This service focuses on drafting, tailoring and supporting the adoption of agreed policies, procedures and control documentation. It is not a certification or a guarantee of compliance.

Technical configuration, software implementation, model testing, independent assurance and ongoing control operation are not included unless expressly agreed.

Where regulatory classification, a detailed AI risk assessment or a wider governance redesign is needed before drafting can proceed, that work is identified and scoped separately.

The organisation remains responsible for approving the documents, communicating the rules, providing resources and operating the agreed controls.
