I have found Cisco Live presentation BRKSEC-2018 (from 2015) to be very useful. It has a nice overview and goes into some detail about the various policies that should be setup.

It can be found here: https://www.ciscolive.com/online/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=83675

See from slide 57 onward which starts by explaining

Six basic policies need to be defined:

•System Policy—manages system-level settings such as audit logs, mail relay, etc
•Health Policy—a collection of health module settings to check the health of devices
•Network Discovery Policy—defines how the system collects data of network assets
•File Policy—used to perform file control and AMP (Applied as part of Access Control Rule)
•Intrusion Policy—defines IPS rules to be enabled for inspection (Applied as part of Access Control Rule)
•Access Control Policy—permits/denies traffic through the device, defines which Intrusion/File policies are applied to traffic flows

Later sections walk through each of those.
