Here are some definitions to help clarify things. A Policy is a guideline or statement of position with respect to a given topic. A Process is the highest level description of a large task or series of related tasks. It provides the BIG picture.
Difference between Guideline, Procedure, Standard and Policy. We come across these terms quite often and we find lot many people using them in a wrong way. Guideline is simply to give an overview of how to perform a task. Procedure tells us step by step what to do while standard is the lowest level control that can not be changed.

A piece of advice on how to act in a given situation.
