Question Example of a Security Policy...

Is there somewhere I can go to get an example of a Security Policy for a small shop that doesn't "intentionally" store card data?

Default Policy document

When writing a pci policy - do you need to address all requirements in pci-dss standard or those that relate to the SAQ you complete? If you answer N/A to one of the questions on the SAQ do you still need to have this item addressed in your policy?
