We paid our law firm a lot for a set of "starter" InfoSec policies. Secureframe's sales rep insists their auto-generator is better because it's "always up-to-date."
I'm skeptical. Automating legal docs feels like a compliance checkbox, not actual risk management.
* Law firm templates: static, but written for *our* specific risk profile and industry. They know our contracts.
* Secureframe generator: dynamic, but built for generic SaaS. Ties to their GRC modules, which is the real sell.
Has anyone actually compared the output? I care less about generation and more about maintenance.
* When a regulation changes (e.g., new state privacy law), does the generator produce a usable diff, or just a whole new policy that requires re-review?
* Can their policies handle nuances like our custom B2B data flows, or do they default to the simplest B2C assumptions?
The promise is efficiency. The risk is a policy that looks compliant but misses key clauses our auditors will actually check for.
