For Compliance Managers
Governance that produces evidence, not just records
Risk register, action plans, assurance packs, and reviews, all connected to your compliance posture.
The compliance manager's operating environment
Responsible for CQC Regulation 17 evidence
Governance activity must be evidenced: risks tracked, actions closed, reviews conducted, assurance assembled.
Often managing governance across multiple homes
Multi-site compliance managers need cross-location visibility, not 12 separate spreadsheet files.
Evidence required fast after requirement notices
When CQC issues a requirement notice, the organisation has a fixed window to demonstrate an improvement response.
What the governance operating layer provides
Risk Register
Kanban workflow across Open, Escalated, Mitigated, Accepted, and Closed. Likelihood × Impact scoring with audit trail.
Action Plans
Actions linked to risks and incidents. Every state change (open, in progress, closed) timestamped and immutable.
Assurance Packs
Evidence assembled around CQC standards. Signed off and frozen at the point of completion.
Governance Reviews
Scheduled, conducted, and evidenced. SLA alerts for overdue reviews. Historical record retained.
Entity Benchmarking
Compare governance health across all locations in a single table: open actions, overdue rates, review completion.
Control Effectiveness
Score active controls against identified risks. Evidence that mitigation is working, not just documented.
CQC Regulation 17: what the platform evidences
Regulation 17 requires registered persons to maintain effective oversight, identify risks, take action to improve, and produce evidence on request.
- Risk entries with likelihood × impact scoring. Evidence risks are identified
- Action plans with closed audit trails. Evidence action was taken
- Assurance packs signed off and frozen. Evidence quality is maintained
- Governance review records with attendance and outcomes. Evidence oversight activity
- Entity benchmarking. Evidence group-level governance oversight
Typical outcome
Governance actions that previously existed in email threads and shared drives become traceable. Every risk has an owner, every action has a deadline, and assurance evidence is assembled before CQC asks for it.
