When creating new policies or editing existing policies, you might come across a Name or Date highlighted in blue like this:
Currently, it is not possible to manually add or edit these values beyond the first time creation of the Policy.
These values are generated by a new workflow that is only available the very first time you create one of the following policies:
- Code of Conduct
- Information Security Policy (AUP)
- Information Security Roles and Responsibilities
It is not possible at this time to have these in any other policies, but this is a new feature that is still in active development and this may change in the near future!
What do I do if I need to update the Policy Owner or Effective Date?
At the time of writing, all you need to do is delete these values, then type in the new Owner or Date. The values generated by the workflow do not permanently set the Policy Owner or the effective date.
- The Policy Owners and Effective Date are not tied into Vanta systems just yet, so what is written in the Policy is the source of truth.
- You ca assign ownership to the Tests related to your Policy, for instructions on this refer to Assignment and Ownership for Tests, Policies, and Documents
