Document control · ISO-aligned operations

“Controlled documents. Clear responsibilities. Audit-ready records.”

InControl is a document-control system designed to support organisations working with ISO-aligned management processes. It gives every controlled document an owner, a reviewer, a revision history and a record of who has read it.

Discuss Document Control

Important

InControl supports ISO-aligned document-control processes. Using the software does not itself grant, guarantee or imply ISO certification or compliance — certification is issued only by an accredited certification body following its own audit.

The controlled-document lifecycle

  1. 01

    Draft

    Authored by the document owner against a controlled template.

  2. 02

    Review

    Routed to named reviewers with comments recorded against the revision.

  3. 03

    Approve

    Approved by the authorised role, with the approval recorded.

  4. 04

    Publish

    Released with an effective date and a next review date.

  5. 05

    Acknowledge

    Affected staff confirm they have read the current revision.

  6. 06

    Revise

    Changes raise a new revision; the previous one becomes history, not a lost file.

  7. 07

    Archive

    Superseded revisions are retained and marked as no longer in force.
