English translation:Regulatory document
Explanation:
In my experience, "normativo" refers to the application of (company) rules or standards. There are several ways to express it.

For example, some might prefer to call it a "Policy document", as it contains the company policy (on IT, in this case)...

Or even "Guideline..."

NB: I tend to agree with Phil's commenrt that "Regulatory" sounds very official/government-related. Perhaps "Guidelines containing..." would be better in the IT /company context.

Although a quick Google search shows "regulatory documents" used in several areas, not just govt.
