Written IT Policies

I'm putting together a general security policy along with an acceptable use policy. I was curious what, if any, other policies I should look at implementing.

TIA.

While they pretty much named the basics, have you seen this place?

I used this for my policy templates. The SANS institute is a Great place for IT policy resources, or at least I think it is.

For sure. Somehow I missed the huge list of all the other ones. I only had their security policy.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. For a follow-up question, I'd like to ask which ones of those do you actually use? Or did you lump a lot of those together in a broad security policy?

the latter, smaller company needed something, but nothing extremely specific.
