Content Governance
Content governance refers to the roles, policies, and processes that determine how content is created, approved, published, and maintained across your intranet. It helps ensure that internal information is accurate, timely, and consistent.
For banks and credit unions, content governance is critical to maintaining compliance and trust. It prevents outdated documents from circulating, supports audit-readiness, and helps staff find the right version of what they need - when they need it.
A solid content governance plan includes clearly assigned content owners, routine review cycles, approval workflows, and full visibility into when content was last updated and by whom.
Why It Matters
Without proper governance, intranet content becomes disorganized and unreliable. This undermines employee confidence and increases the risk of non-compliance - especially when staff rely on outdated policies, procedures, or forms.
Example in Practice
When a compliance officer uploads a new policy, content governance ensures it's approved by a supervisor, the previous version is archived, and a future review date is automatically scheduled. Users see only the latest version - no confusion, no risk.
