Structured Governance Workflow for
ISO 27001 Documentation Control
Transform unmanaged Wiki pages into controlled documentation with a clear, enforced lifecycle. Governance can be applied selectively without disrupting other teams.
Draft
Authors create or update Wiki page content. The page is clearly marked as unpublished governance state.
In Review
Required reviewers are notified. SLA countdown begins. Change summary is displayed for reviewers.
Approved
All required reviewers sign off. Commit hash is recorded as the approved version. Audit entry created.
Also includes:
- Required reviewers (users or Azure DevOps groups)
- Mandatory change summary on approval
- SLA tracking for pending reviews
- Clear ownership assignment per page
- Optional non-governed pages (explicitly marked)
- Selective governance — enable per page only
Audit & Internal Control Visibility
for SOC 2 Documentation Traceability
Designed to support internal audit and compliance review processes. Collect evidence for change management controls, documentation review controls, and information security oversight.
Immutable Version History
Every change is recorded as a Git commit. History cannot be deleted or altered retroactively.
Append-Only Audit Log
All governance events append to an audit log. Reviewers, timestamps, and decisions are always traceable.
Page Ownership Accountability
Every governed page has an explicit owner who is accountable for review cycles and content accuracy.
Documentation Aging Dashboard

Review Status Visibility
Cross-project dashboard showing review status, pending approvals, and SLA compliance at a glance.
