Document Control Procedure
This procedure explains how we manage the Unicis handbook — ensuring that all policies, processes, and standards documentation are current, accurate, and approved.
Purpose
To ensure that handbook content is:
- Clearly owned — Each page has a responsible author/owner
- Properly approved — Significant changes are reviewed before publication
- Consistently versioned — We track changes; prior versions remain accessible
- Current and accurate — Pages are reviewed regularly; outdated content is updated
- Audit-ready — All changes are documented with dates and summaries
Who Approves What
| Content Type | Examples | Who Approves |
| — | — | — |
| Policies | Information Security Policy, IT Security Policy, Privacy Policy | CEO (Predrag) |
| Standards Commitments | ISO 20000-1, ISO 27001 overviews | CEO (Predrag) |
| Service Commitments | Service Strategy, Scorecard targets | CEO (Predrag) |
| Team Processes | Core Processes, procedures | Team (process owners) — no CEO approval needed |
| Reference Material | Glossary, FAQ, links | No formal approval — updated as needed |
How It Works
When You Create or Update a Page
Author: Create or edit the page in the handbook
- If it's a policy or standard → Request approval from CEO
- If it's a process/procedure → Check with process owner
- If it's reference material → Just update it
Update the Revision History section at the bottom with:
```
| Date | Change | Author |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-15 | Initial version | Predrag Tasevski |
| 2026-11-20 | Updated SLA targets | Alexander Eklöf |
```
When Changes Are Major
Major changes (SLA targets, policy statements, process steps):
1. Edit page 2. Post in Matrix (#handbook channel) with link: "Please review this update" 3. Wait for approval (typically within 5 business days) 4. Incorporate feedback 5. Update Revision History with date + change summary 6. Save page
Minor changes (typos, clarifications, link updates):
- Just fix them; no approval needed
- Update Revision History anyway (so we know it was edited)
Handbook Maintenance
Quarterly Review (Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4)
CEO reviews and confirms all policy & standards pages are current:
- Scorecard (update targets if changed)
Mark at the footer: “Last reviewed: Q3 2026 — next review: Q4 2026”
Annually
All process pages are reviewed by their owners to confirm procedures are still accurate.
Version History
Every page has an “Old revisions” link at the bottom. Click it to:
- See who edited the page and when
- Read what changed in each edit (from the summary)
- Restore an old version if needed (in case of mistakes)
This history is audit evidence — it shows how documentation has evolved.
Page Structure
All pages should include:
- Title — Clear, descriptive heading
- Purpose — Why this page exists
- Owner — Who is responsible (if applicable)
- Content — Main information
- Related pages — Links to related handbook content
- Revision History — Table showing dates, changes, authors (bottom)
- Last reviewed — Footer date and next review date
- Tags — Keywords for searching

FAQ
Q: Can I edit a page I didn't create? A: Yes, if it's minor (typos, clarifications). Major changes to policies? Ask the owner first.

Q: What if I disagree with feedback? A: Discuss in #handbook channel. Goal is accuracy and consistency for our customers.
