Writing policies is diligent work; keeping them good and consistent is the real art. The AI-assisted policy optimization in SecTepe.Core supports exactly that – and was sharpened in this cycle at several practically relevant points, based on an EU-sovereign language model.
Optimization in the Language of the Policy
The most important fix: optimization now runs in the language of the policy itself. A German policy is improved in German, an English one in English – no more unwanted language switch in the optimized text. For a bilingual ISMS this is crucial, so the AI support doesn't itself become a source of inconsistency.
Unlocked for Free Tenants
Policy optimization is now also available for free tenants. This lets smaller organizations and test environments use the AI assistant before switching to a larger plan – a low-barrier entry into AI-assisted ISMS work.
No More Truncated Output
A persistent annoyance is gone: the output is no longer truncated. Even longer policies are returned fully optimized instead of ending at a token limit – you get the whole document, not the first two thirds.
Mirror Documents as Clean DOCX
Policy mirror documents now export as a properly formatted DOCX instead of raw Markdown. Anyone passing a document to auditors, the works council, or business departments gets a presentable Word document – without manual reformatting.
EU-Sovereign and With Model Lifecycle
The AI functions of SecTepe.Core run over an EU-sovereign, IONOS-hosted LLM service with an OpenAI-compatible API – without a detour via US providers. The same cycle includes clean model lifecycle handling: a model reaching end of life on its date is retired in an orderly fashion, and for an unparseable retirement date the system deliberately stays operational (fail-open). How AI is used in SecTepe.Core beyond this for policy generation and audit assistance is shown in the post on AI-assisted compliance.
Conclusion
Language-faithful optimization, free-tier access, complete outputs, and formatted DOCX exports turn AI policy optimization from a nice extra into a reliable tool in everyday ISMS work – sovereignly hosted and without the usual friction.
