How Titan Automates Policy Management Lifecycle in M365

PolicyandProcedureManagementSolution.png

1. Policy Draft

Solution allows one or multiple stakeholders including subject matter experts to start drafting a policy. This could be a co-authoring same document wherein users can lock it if they do not want anyone else to modify it while some user is working on the draft document. System maintains versioning of the document. This solution eliminates the need for sharing documents through email.

2. Review

Submit the draft to the policy manager or a designated stakeholder(s) for a review. This is managed through an automated workflow that allows one or more stakeholders for review. Initiator can decide review steps and reviewers. Reviewers can have rights to either add comments against a document or edit the file depending upon the process.

3. Reviewer Feedback

Reviewer(s) can send the draft back to initiators for modifying that or approve it with or without editing it. There is an option to either edit the document (if reviewer has edit rights) or simply approve it with comments against that file.

4. Approval

Present the final draft to the executive team or the highest authority for approval. This could be one or multiple approvers. These stakeholders can also have rights to either add comments against a document or edit it and then approve it. Approvers can revert the document to either initiator or reviewer with comments.

5. Policy Distribution

Communicate the approved policy to all employees and post approved file in a policy repository that is accessible to employees. These are not editable, but employees can read then or download then if they have permissions. This file repository can part of an existing Intranet that is working independently. Additionally, Titan Workspace has a Policy repository page where all approved policies are posted as well.

6. Compliance (Acknowledgement/Attestation)

Acknowledgement from employees or stakeholders for a policy document along with its acknowledgement history. There is a dashboard available to policy management stakeholders to track which employees have still not read and accepted any policy. Automated reminders will go to employees asking them to read and accept the policy.

7. Policy Retention

Apply a date up to which a policy is valid.

8. Policy Revision

Workflow triggers a review process prior to the policy expiry date. This will notify all stakeholders that a policy is up for revision. This workflow can be scheduled as per number of days needed for revision process. Once revised policy is approved, it will update existing policy with latest copy with latest version. Old policy will be available as archived.

9. Notifications

System will send notifications at every step to relevant stakeholders.
