Managing policy compliance is a challenge for every organisation - whether you’re in a regulated or supervised sector, or you work with clients and stakeholders who demand the highest standards of compliance.
Policies must be distributed, read, acknowledged, and tracked, with clear evidence for auditors and regulators. Yet, traditional approaches - manual tracking, emails, spreadsheets - are time-consuming, error-prone, and disengaging for employees.
Acknowledgement Manager transforms this process by leveraging the power of Microsoft 365, making compliance simple, accessible, and robust for everyone.
Native Microsoft 365 Policy Compliance: Seamless Integration Where You Work
Unlike standalone compliance platforms, Acknowledgement Manager is built directly into Microsoft 365. It operates within SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, and the Power Platform, so your policy management process is embedded in the tools and workflows your people already use every day.
No external systems or logins
Users authenticate with their existing Microsoft 365 credentials.
Instant access to policies and acknowledgements
Right inside familiar apps.
Enterprise-grade security and privacy
All data is stored within your Microsoft 365 environment, protected by Microsoft’s robust security framework and compliance certifications (GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and more).
Streamlined Policy Distribution, Tracking, and Audit Trails
With Acknowledgement Manager, distributing policies and tracking acknowledgements is effortless:
Schedule acknowledgements to recur monthly, quarterly, or annually - ideal for regulated sectors.
Target specific individuals, teams, or departments for tailored policy delivery.
Automated email notifications and reminders ensure employees review and acknowledge policies on time.
One-click digital signatures create secure, auditable trails, compliant with legal standards.
Dashboards and reports let compliance teams monitor responses, follow up on non-compliance, and export data for audits.
Leveraging SharePoint and Microsoft Content Services
Acknowledgement Manager harnesses SharePoint’s document management capabilities, allowing you to:
Link acknowledgements to your central policy repository for version control and lifecycle management.
Attach evidence to acknowledgements - employees can upload documents to prove compliance or training completion.
Automate workflows with Power Automate, integrating policy updates, notifications, and escalations into your business processes.
Designed for Simplicity, Built for Demanding Environments
The app is the result of years of experience building compliance, attestation, and declaration solutions for global clients in heavily regulated industries. Yet, it’s deliberately designed to be:
Lightweight and easy to deploy
Installation is quick, with no complex integrations required.
Simple to administer
Compliance teams can set up, schedule, and monitor acknowledgements with minimal training.
Accessible for all employees
The user experience is intuitive, increasing engagement and response rates.
