The Policies page displays a list of policies for your organization. Each policy record in Hyperproof represents the entire policy life cycle. Policies contain the following:
Multiple versions of a policy
One current or effective version of the policy document that the organization must follow.
A separate draft version of the policy document used during the update, review, and approval process. The effective version remains in place while you work on the draft version, until the draft is approved and promoted to the effective version.
Retired versions of the policy document for historical reference.
Policy versions contain:
Data about each version of the document, including a version ID, approval date, list of approvers, effective date, next version date, and retirement date. See Editing policy details.
Proof linked to the version of the document indicating that it followed the correct processes, such as it has been approved, read, and acknowledged by employees, or any other evidence you or an auditor might require
Links to controls that implement the directives in the policy
Exceptions to the policy are represented by issues that record situations where the policy won't be met. See Adding an issue to a policy.
From the Policies page, you can view and add new policies, open and work with a policy, access archived policies, change owners, add members, and export policies. See Bulk editing policies.
