Controlling documents after implementation
Assign topic to the user
Answer:
My interpretation of your question is: How can someone ensure that after implementation documents are not changed by users without authority to change them?
I see several approaches being used by organizations:
* Only digital versions are considered as valid. People access documentation through smartphones, tablets, terminals or computers, and documentation is protected from changes. And when someone prints a document a watermark appears saying that the organization does not control printed copies;
* Any printed version is only valid if signed by the authorized issuer;
* Frequent internal audits ensure that document control is learned and practiced
