Policy Management
Policies and procedures - written, approved, and current, mapped to your frameworks, with the audit trail built in.
The Problem
- Policies live in a shared drive – nobody knows which version is current or who read it.
- “Distribute and hope” isn’t enforcement, and auditors know it.
- When the regulator asks “show me the signed policy,” the search begins.
The Solution
- Move policies from documentation into operational practice – approved, enforced, and monitored.
- Distribute version-controlled policies by role, with automatic reminders and a live acknowledgment dashboard.
- Map every policy to the frameworks it supports, while the platform maintains a complete audit trail.
How It Works
Create and version
Draft policies from the built-in template library, or import existing documents. Every change creates a new version with a full history. Approval workflows route policies to the CISO before publication.
Distribute and track acknowledgment
Assign policies to user groups by role or department. Each assignee reads the policy in-platform and acknowledges it. Automated reminders escalate for non-responders. The dashboard provides a live view of acknowledgment status across all assigned users.
Map, monitor, and report
Each policy is mapped to the compliance frameworks it satisfies. When a regulation changes, CISOteria surfaces the affected policies instantly. Export acknowledgment reports and version history as audit evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if an employee refuses to acknowledge a policy?
CISOteria sends escalating reminders. If an employee does not acknowledge by the final deadline, the dashboard flags them and their manager as non-compliant. The CISO or HR can take action through normal processes - CISOteria provides the evidence trail. The audit record shows the policy was distributed, the employee was reminded, and non-compliance was tracked.
How are policies mapped to frameworks?
Each policy is tagged with the specific controls it satisfies - for example, an Access Control Policy might satisfy ISO 27001 Annex A 5.15-5.18, IL Privacy Regulation 7, and NIST CSF PR.AC. When you view a framework control, you can see which policies satisfy it. Acknowledged policies provide evidence of control implementation.
Can I import existing policies from Word or PDF?
Yes. CISOteria supports the import of existing policy documents. Imported documents are versioned, assigned an owner and review date, and mapped to relevant frameworks. The import process does not validate the document’s content. Review and approval continue through the standard workflow after import.
