Sounds familiar?

When nobody is sure which copy is current

An employee follows a policy file saved on their laptop two years ago. The governance team has a newer draft, the published PDF is somewhere else, and there is no record of who was asked to read it.

Uncontrolled versions

Word drafts and PDF copies circulate separately, with no single record of the current version.

Unclear ownership

Nobody knows who is responsible for updating the policy or when it is due for review.

No proof the policy reached staff

It is hard to show which employees received the policy and confirmed reading it.

How MUNTABIQ helps

MUNTABIQ gives every document type its own register, from policies and procedures to standards and charters. Each record holds the version, status, classification, language and review date, the editable Word file and the published PDF, and the departments and employees it applies to. When a policy requires acknowledgment, employees in scope are notified and confirm they have read it, and the Documents dashboard shows what is due for review.

From draft to acknowledged policy in five steps

  1. Step 1: Start from the right register
  2. Step 2: Describe the document
  3. Step 3: Set the scope and attach the files
  4. Step 4: Employees read and acknowledge
  5. Step 5: Track who has acknowledged it
Step 1: Start from the right register

What changes

One register per document type

Policies, procedures, standards and other types each have their own list with version, status and review date.

Review dates in view

The Documents dashboard counts documents due for review and the departments with reviews due.

Recorded acknowledgment

You see which employees have read the policy and when, instead of relying on email replies.

Who it is for

Governance Manager

Keeps the document library organized by type and follows review dates and status from the dashboard.

Policy Owner

Updates the policy, uploads the new files and knows exactly who it applies to.

Compliance Team

Links policies to framework controls and shows that staff in scope have acknowledged them.

Frequently asked questions

Can we keep earlier versions of a document?

Each document carries a version number and a status, which includes Archived, and the register shows the version of every record. The document page also has an Activity tab. We agree with you in the demo how earlier versions should be kept in your library.

Can reviews be assigned to someone?

Yes. The document page has an Assignees section where you add the people responsible for it, and each document has a review date. The Documents dashboard shows documents due for review and the departments with reviews due.

Can a policy be linked to compliance controls?

Yes. In the Scope section you choose a framework and the controls the policy supports. The document page then lists those controls and shows their compliance status.
