Change Log Documentation

Each significant revision is documented in a change log, encapsulating:

  • Modification Details: Elucidating the nature of changes

  • Revision Number: Semantic Versioning (e.g., v2.0.1)

  • Author of Changes: Identifying the responsible individual or team

  • Date of Revision: Timestamped documentation


Review and Approval Hierarchy

A multilevel review mechanism is implemented:

  • Primary Review: Conducted by the immediate team responsible for the document.

  • Secondary Review: Cross-functional teams for inter-departmental verification.

  • Final Approval: Department heads or project leads.


Automated Backup System

Utilizing a combination of on-premises and cloud-based solutions for data redundancy:

  • Primary Storage: RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) Configured Servers

  • Secondary Storage: AWS S3/Glacier for offsite backups


Audit Trail and Compliance

The system automatically logs all revisions and access, creating an audit trail for compliance purposes. This includes who accessed or modified a document, when, and what changes were made.


Security Protocols for Document Handling

  • Encryption: AES-256 encryption for sensitive documents.

  • Access Control: Role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict document access.

  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Policies to prevent unauthorized sharing or copying of sensitive information.


Periodic Review Cycles

Scheduled reviews ensure documents remain current and relevant:

  • Frequency: Quarterly or as necessitated by project milestones.

  • Process: Involves reassessment of content validity, applicability, and compliance with evolving standards and regulations.


Training and Awareness

Regular training sessions are conducted to acquaint staff with document control procedures, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of documents.
