Danijel Martinek d32464c94b docs(compliance): add skeleton policy templates (backup, password, device, onboarding, offboarding)
Five skeleton templates for docs/compliance/templates/. Each has YAML
frontmatter (status: template, playbook-section), a "not code-enforced"
banner, and [FILL IN:] markers throughout. password-policy banner cites
ADR-025 §Deferred items by number (MFA + password policy + lockout
deferral). Cross-template relative links all resolve.

Acceptable Use & Device Policy

Template status — fill every [FILL IN: …] marker before use.

Not code-enforced — device management, endpoint security, and acceptable-use controls are implemented outside the application codebase (MDM, EDR, organisational policy). This template documents those controls; the consumer configures and enforces them at the infrastructure and HR level.

  2. Remote wipe is initiated within [FILL IN: e.g., 2 hours] of report.
  3. The incident is assessed for personal-data impact and escalated to the incident runbook if PII was accessible (see incident-runbook.template.md).
  4. Document in [FILL IN: incident tracker].

6. Device Return & Offboarding

On termination or role change, devices are returned within [FILL IN: e.g., 1 business day] and wiped via [FILL IN: wipe procedure]. See offboarding.template.md for the full offboarding checklist.
