The policy layer, for any standard.

Every standard on this list asks for written policies that are approved, current, and known to the people they cover. AllyMatter handles that layer: write each policy, send it through approval, and send it to the people it applies to.

Each acknowledgment is recorded by name, with the version, the date and the time. When a policy changes, the new version is approved, its Editor sends it out again, and everyone it applies to is asked again. Export the record as a PDF or CSV when a reviewer asks.

  • Approved before it goes outUp to four steps, with any or all approvers.
  • Acknowledged by nameName, email, date, time and version on every record.
  • Asked again on every changeSmall edits too, since even a comma can change a meaning, once the Editor sends it out.
  • The record on requestA PDF or CSV export of the log.

Questions

What does AllyMatter do for a standard?

It handles the policy layer: the written policies and procedures a standard asks for, each approved before it goes out, sent to the people it covers, acknowledged by name and version, reviewed on a date you set, and kept with its version history.

My standard is not on this list. Can I still use AllyMatter?

Yes. The policy layer works the same way for any standard or regulation you work to. Bring its policies into AllyMatter, tag them for the people they cover, and run them through approval and acknowledgment.

How were these pages checked?

Each page was written from primary sources, such as the regulator, the standard owner or the accreditation body, read on 18 October 2026. Each page lists the sources it used.

Who can help with the rest of a standard?

Each standard page links to the matching page on Policy and Compliance, which lists who audits it and which consultants work with it.
