Rolling out Microsoft 365 Copilot or already using AI at work – and someone just asked "where is our AI policy?"
This toolkit answers that question in one download.
Everything inside is built around one risk model. 3 levels – Green, Amber, Red – appear identically in the master policy, the staff rules, the use-case assessment form, the vendor scorecard, the wall poster and the workbook's status flags.
Your documents never contradict each other, which is the first thing auditors and enterprise buyers probe.

THE 16-TAB EXCEL WORKBOOK DOES THE REMEMBERING
Register each use case, tool, agent, vendor and incident once. Ratings, vendor verdicts, review flags and overdue alerts then recalculate themselves: a 5x5 risk heatmap that counts live risks automatically, a Copilot readiness checklist, a framework crosswalk for ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act, a local-law register, training tracker and evidence log.
Filled with a fictional demo firm (Meridian Advisory Ltd) so you can see every flag in action before replacing the data.
Simple formulas and conditional formatting only – no fragile model logic, no macros.
WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT
• Copilot-specific depth: oversharing clean-up, sensitivity labels, web search decision record and go-live gates – not just generic "be careful with AI" rules
• Real operations: one incident procedure with concrete SLA clocks, one action tracker that chases its owners for you
• Audit posture: the crosswalk and evidence log organise what auditors, clients and insurers ask for – mapped at orientation level to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, NIST AI RMF 1.0 and EU AI Act (Reg. 2024/1689), references current at October 2026
• Board-ready: a quarterly briefing deck (KPI cards, tier doughnut, risk heatmap) and a 45-minute staff training deck with facilitator notes, colour-coded worked examples and a knowledge check
• Works anywhere: no country hard-wired, Google Docs and Sheets compatible
WHO IT IS FOR
• Law firms, accountancy and advisory firms, fiduciary and financial services teams, consultancies, and IT, risk or compliance leads at any organisation introducing AI tools.
• Small firms combine roles in one afternoon; larger teams assign owners across departments.
