Document and policy management software with version control

If you cannot prove which version of a policy was current and who read it, you do not have document control. Here is what good document management software does.

Document management software — and policy management software — is about more than storage. Control means knowing which version was current, who approved it and who has read it.

What document control needs

  • Version history on every document.
  • Controlled-document approval workflows.
  • Read-and-acknowledge with an audit trail.
  • A secure Vault with structured folders and permissions.

Why it belongs with the work

Policies exist to change behaviour. When a policy is published, your team reads and acknowledges it on their phone, and you get a who-read-what trail — proof that matters in any audit or incident.
