STORM Platform · Policy Management

Turn documents into governed workflows.

Author, review, approve, publish and acknowledge policies and procedures in one controlled workspace—with version history, audit trails and links to the controls they support.

STORM currently supports document authoring, templates, review and approval workflows, acknowledgements, and SharePoint and Confluence integrations.

From files to governance

Keep every document current, owned and traceable.

A policy library becomes operational when teams can see which version applies, who must review it, which controls it supports and whether the right people acknowledged it. STORM brings those activities into one traceable lifecycle rather than leaving them across folders, inboxes and spreadsheets.

01 · CREATE

Build and reuse

Author governance documentation and manage templates for policies, procedures, standards and guidelines.

Route documents through configurable review and approval workflows with clear responsibility.

03 · COMMUNICATE

Assign policy acknowledgements to users and retain reporting on completion status.

04 · CONNECT

Link documentation to compliance controls and frameworks so evidence remains easier to follow.

Inside the platform

One workspace for the complete document lifecycle.

The Policy & Procedure Center combines the library, workflow state and user evidence needed to keep governance documents active.

01 · Central library

Find the document—and its real status.

Bring policies, procedures, standards, guidelines and other governance material into a searchable, categorized repository. The dashboard surfaces document status alongside pending approvals, reviews and acknowledgements.

  • Search, filtering and categorization
  • Document templates and authoring
  • Status, approval, review and acknowledgement visibility

02 · Controlled workflow

Configure review and approval paths, retain the full document history and audit trail, and set recurring review schedules. Automated reminders help the next responsible person see what needs attention.

  • Configurable review and approval workflows
  • Version history and audit trail
  • Scheduled reviews with Email and Teams notifications
