IT asset and security policy documentation that stays under control.
Two things auditors always ask IT for: the asset record, and the current, approved security policies. Abscode keeps both under control, assets as living records, IT and information-security policies as controlled documents with approval, distribution and a full history.
An asset list and a policy without control are audit findings waiting to happen
IT asset registers live in spreadsheets that are accurate the day they are made and stale the week after. Security policies are worse, drafted once, approved informally, and rarely versioned, so when ISO 27001 or a customer security review asks for the current information-security policy and its approval, IT is reconstructing rather than retrieving.
The gap is control. An asset list without ownership and history, and a policy without versioning and approval, are exactly the findings a security audit is designed to surface.
Assets kept as records, policies run a controlled flow
Assets are held as living records, each with its owner, category and supporting documents, so the register is never a stale snapshot. IT and information-security policies run the default control flow below, with only the current, approved version live.
Draft as a controlled document
A policy or procedure is drafted and captured as a controlled document, with its owner and category set from the start, so it has a home before it is ever approved.
Review and sign off
The draft is reviewed and approved by the approver you set, with remarks written to the trail, before it can be published. No policy goes live on an informal yes.
Publish, previous superseded
On approval the policy is published and the previous version is superseded automatically, so only the current, approved version is live while the full history is retained.
Distribute by access
The policy is distributed by access group, so the right people see the current version and sensitive policies stay restricted, with every prior version kept on record.
Asset records and versioned policies, in one place
Each record is retrieved by what it is about, the asset or the policy, not by remembering which folder someone saved it in.
Asset records
Each asset kept as a record with its owner, category and supporting documents, so the register is a living record rather than a spreadsheet snapshot.
Versioned IT and security policies
IT and information-security policies, the Statement of Applicability and control procedures, each held as a controlled document with its approval and full change history.
The approval and change history
The approver, the date and the remarks recorded on the trail, with every superseded version retained, so you can show which policy was current when.
Index fields you search on
Each record carries the fields you search and report on, such as owner, category, version and review date, so the asset or policy you need surfaces in seconds.
Renewals watched, reviews scheduled
IT is full of things that expire, SSL certificates, software licences, warranties and AMC, and things that should be reviewed on a cycle, such as access rights and security policies. Abscode watches the expiry dates and raises a renewal workflow before each one lapses, and lets you schedule the periodic reviews so they recur. A lapsed certificate discovered during an audit becomes a thing of the past.
Configurable to your policy
Set the asset categories, who approves which policies and the review cycle, all from the default flow and without code. Sensitive policies can carry more sign-off and tighter access than routine documents. See how configuration works →
Why teams choose Abscode
One engine for every asset record and controlled policy, framed to the way audits and security reviews ask you to prove control.
Records, not folders
Everything about an asset or policy lives in one record. You retrieve by what a document is about, the asset, the owner, the policy, not by remembering which folder someone saved it in.
The system does the data entry
Abscode reads each document, extracts the fields that matter and verifies them against the document type. No manual typing, no misfiled paper.
Real approval workflows
Maker-checker, review and sign-off are built in, and every action is written to a complete audit trail you can hand to an auditor.
Pay for usage, not per user
Give your whole team access. You pay for what you use, not for a seat count that punishes you for growing.
Built for ISO 27001
Information-security policy control is where ISO 27001 meets day-to-day IT. Abscode keeps your security policies, Statement of Applicability and control procedures as controlled documents, and can analyse a policy against the standard's structure to flag gaps, so the same records serve the IT team and the certification. It supports your certification effort, it is not a certification in itself. See ISO document control →
Proven where the volumes are unforgiving
Abscode DMS is built on a document platform proven at massive scale, billions of records and millions of pages in production, so your asset register and policy history stay fast to search and safe to keep.
