What It Is
The Policies & Procedures module manages the full document lifecycle for governance policies, procedures, and standards. From drafting and review through approval, publication, distribution, attestation, and periodic review — every step is tracked with full audit trails.
Unlike generic document management, MPG connects policies to the risks they address, the controls they establish, the obligations they fulfill, and the procedures that operationalize them. This creates a living policy framework where every document has a clear purpose and measurable effectiveness.
The module supports version control, distribution tracking, attestation campaigns, exception management, and policy effectiveness reviews — ensuring your policy framework remains current, communicated, and complied with.
Who It Is For
Problems It Solves
How MPG Solves Them
MPG provides a structured policy lifecycle from draft through approval, publication, distribution, attestation, and review. Version control ensures everyone is working from the current version, while distribution tracking shows exactly who has received, read, and attested to each policy.
Attestation campaigns distribute policies to relevant teams and track completion with automated reminders and escalations. Exceptions are documented with risk assessment, approval, and expiration — ensuring they are not forgotten or left open indefinitely.
Policy effectiveness reviews assess whether policies are achieving their intended outcomes, with findings linked to risks and remediation. This closes the loop from policy creation to policy impact.
Key Features
Reporting Studio & Governance AI
Every record in this module can be reported on
The Reporting Studio turns what your workspace records into governed figures — compiled from your own records, approved before anything leaves the workspace, and answered with citations.
Governed measures
Each figure is compiled from the module's own records and carries the instant it was read at and what it leaves out.
Approval before release
A report pack leaves the workspace only once the approval chain its report type requires has decided on it.
Answers you can check
The assistant points to the records each answer rests on, and it never approves, publishes, releases or deletes anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does version control work?
Every policy edit creates a new version with full revision history. You can compare versions, track who made each change, and revert if needed. Only the published version is visible to end users, while draft versions are restricted to editors and approvers.
Can I track who has read and attested to policies?
Yes. MPG attestation campaigns distribute policies to relevant teams and track individual completion. You can see exactly who has attested, who is overdue, and send automated reminders and escalations.
How are exceptions managed?
Policy exceptions are documented with a risk assessment, approval workflow, and expiration date. The system tracks open exceptions and sends reminders before they expire, ensuring they are reviewed and either renewed or closed.
Can I connect policies to risks and controls?
Yes. Every policy can be linked to the risks it addresses, the controls it establishes, and the compliance obligations it fulfills. This creates a connected governance framework where policies have clear purpose and measurable impact.
How do effectiveness reviews work?
Periodic effectiveness reviews assess whether policies are achieving their intended outcomes. Findings from reviews are linked to risks and remediation actions, closing the loop from policy creation to policy impact.
