Aug 26, 2016 at 8:47 comment added Peter9192 I added some extra context, hope that clarifies the question. I did consult a dictionary, but I still wasn't sure. I guess cautious more or less conveys the message, but does that fit in this sentence? A person can be cautious, be can guidelines also be cautious?

Added more context
Aug 26, 2016 at 8:18 comment added Em. It is certainly possible. In English, conservative is not limited to "old-fashioned" or "traditional". But we need more details. It's actually difficult to determine if it works at the moment. Regardless, try using a dictionary to see if the meaning fits the context that you have not disclosed.
