At SIRGUS, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of all documents and data we handle. Our Document Policies outline the procedures and guidelines for managing documents to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, as well as to protect sensitive information.

1. Document Creation and Storage

Purpose: To ensure that all documents created and stored by SIRGUS are accurate, consistent, and secure.

• Document Creation: All documents must be created using standardized templates and formats approved by SIRGUS. This ensures consistency and professionalism across all communications and records.
• Storage: Documents must be stored in designated secure locations, either physically or digitally. Digital documents should be stored on secure servers with appropriate access controls.

2. Document Access and Control

Purpose: To control access to documents and ensure that only authorized personnel can view or edit them.

• Access Control: Access to documents is granted based on the principle of least privilege. Employees are given access only to the documents necessary for their role.
• User Authentication: Access to digital documents requires user authentication, such as passwords or biometric verification.
• Audit Trails: All access to and modifications of documents are logged to provide a clear audit trail.

3. Document Retention and Disposal

Purpose: To retain documents for the appropriate amount of time and dispose of them securely when they are no longer needed.

• Retention Periods: Documents must be retained for the period required by legal, regulatory, and business requirements. Specific retention periods will be defined based on the type of document.
• Secure Disposal: When documents are no longer needed, they must be disposed of securely. Paper documents should be shredded, and digital documents should be deleted using secure deletion methods.

4. Document Confidentiality and Security

Purpose: To protect the confidentiality and security of sensitive documents.

• Confidentiality Agreements: Employees and contractors must sign confidentiality agreements to ensure they understand their responsibilities in protecting sensitive information.
• Encryption: Sensitive documents should be encrypted both in transit and at rest to protect them from unauthorized access.
• Physical Security: Physical documents should be stored in locked cabinets or rooms with restricted access.

5. Document Version Control

Purpose: To manage changes to documents and ensure that the latest version is always available.

• Versioning: All documents must have a clear version control system, indicating the version number and date of each revision.
• Revision History: A history of all revisions should be maintained to track changes and ensure transparency.
• Review and Approval: Changes to documents must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate authority before the new version is published.
