# Policy Management

## <mark style="color:blue;">Overview</mark>

Policy management is needed for comprehensive compliance management. Policies and their associated procedures form the foundation of a good compliance management practice. &#x20;

A policy is a set of rules for an organization to follow to achieve a certain goal such as compliance.

Correspondingly, procedures are the step-by-step instructions for how, when and where these policies that have been outlined will be achieved.&#x20;

Policy Management involves organizing, controlling, and maintaining documents such as policies, procedures, and contracts. It ensures that an organization adheres to laws, regulations, industry standards&#x20;

It is very important for a company to avoid any confusion and to make sure that these policies and procedures are documented in one place.&#x20;

ComplianceBot provides a comprehensive set of features to help with this documentation to publish, track approve, version and archive these policy and procedure documents. &#x20;
