Keep documents

Previous versions need to be kept and archived/graveyarded. Is there a particular time that applies to this in which they need to be kept or is it indefinitely? Does version control apply only to public facing documents or all company wide?

Answer:

The standards ISO (ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000, ISO 9001) does not establish a specific time to keep documents, but some countries have legal regulations to keep certain documents (agreements, SLA, etc.) during a minimal time, after that it is not mandatory to continue keeping them. So, usually you can keep your documents indefinitely, but I recommend you to search information about legal regulation in your country.

Related to the version control, you mean the the version control of a Management system? For example ISO 27001? If so, can be applied to all documents in your business (all company wide), there is no problem, although in a Management System usually applies only for the documents related to the system.
