# Manage compliance of a policy from the overview page

The policy module helps you to create and document all policies. Policies are high-level statements that define what a business should or should not do.

## Overview of a policy

The overview page of a policy record describes the necessity of the policy with respect to the organization's assets. It also gives you the status of the policy, its overall compliance percent, non-compliant entities, and control objectives. It also tracks the open and overdue policy acknowledgements, policy exceptions, and issues.

Select the sidebar icon to know the regulations that the policy has addressed and the related risk statements.
