Information Security & IT Policies

Since 2013 Melodie has been writing Information Security and IT policies for a large (now over 300,000 employees and contractors) silicon valley healthcare company.  

 

      Because of the nature of these policies, no samples of actual policies are available. See the "what others say" for an indication of her infosec work. You can also contact her for sample guidance she has available on how to write infosec policies and move them through a complex review and approval process.

Newsletters
Melodie has a long history of writing, editing, and publishing newsletters that goes back to 1993 when she took over her HOA neighborhood newsletter, kicked it up and notch and made it more "professional."
 

A couple of years later she was a staff writer on an award-winning technology transfer newsletter.  Newsletter samples and a complete list of publications are available on request.

Network Architecture
An example of a 50,000 foot overview of a network architecture (with sensitive details redacted of course) is available on request. This type of document is written for senior management personnel who do not have much technical depth.

This sample is available on request and sensitive information has been redacted.

​

Procedures 
Most technical writing is procedure or "how to" oriented, and it is not unusual in large companies to have the procedure writer also draft the policy if there is no existing policy. Often, those writing the procedures are the first to identify the need for a new policy.

These samples are available on request and sensitive information has been redacted.
