GRC engineering prompt library overview
What you'll achieve
Use this prompt library to accelerate compliance engineering tasks across security frameworks. These prompts help you design, implement, and document technical controls, secure development practices, and infrastructure security that meet ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, and other compliance requirements.
How to use this library
Each prompt is ready to copy and paste into ISMS Copilot. Replace [placeholders] with your specific details for tailored outputs.
Create a dedicated Workspace for each project or client to keep your compliance engineering work organized and context-aware.
Best practices
Be specific about your tech stack, cloud environment, and architecture
Upload existing documentation (PDFs, DOCX, XLS) for gap analysis
Request reasoning to understand control mappings
Iterate on outputs—refine prompts based on initial results
Prompt categories
The library is organized by engineering focus area:
Secure development lifecycle prompts
Design security controls for your SDLC, including code review processes, security testing integration, dependency management, and secret handling that align with Annex A.8, SOC 2 CC8, and NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF).
Infrastructure and cloud security prompts
Generate infrastructure-as-code security configurations, cloud hardening guides, network segmentation designs, and encryption architectures for AWS, Azure, GCP that meet Annex A.13, TSC CC6.6-CC6.7, and NIST CSF requirements.
DevSecOps and automation prompts
Build CI/CD security pipelines, automated compliance checks, container security policies, and security monitoring configurations aligned with Annex A.12, SOC 2 CC7, and NIST SP 800-53 controls.
Access control and identity management prompts
Design technical implementations for RBAC, MFA, privileged access management, session management, and identity federation that satisfy Annex A.9, TSC CC6.1-CC6.3, and Zero Trust architecture principles.
Security monitoring and incident response prompts
Create logging strategies, SIEM configurations, alert correlation rules, incident playbooks, and forensic procedures for Annex A.16-A.17, SOC 2 CC7.3-CC7.5, and NIST IR lifecycle.
Cryptography and data protection prompts
Implement encryption standards, key management systems, data classification schemes, and secure deletion procedures aligned with Annex A.10, GDPR Article 32, TSC CC6.7, and NIST SP 800-57.
These prompts focus on technical implementation. For broader risk assessments and policy development, see the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 prompt libraries.

Tips for engineering teams
Always validate AI-generated technical configurations against official documentation and test in non-production environments before deployment.
Start with your current architecture—upload network diagrams, architecture docs, or config files for context
Request output in formats you use (Terraform, CloudFormation, YAML, Markdown runbooks)
Ask for control mappings to show auditors how technical implementations satisfy requirements
Generate both implementation guides and evidence documentation simultaneously
