Accountable Publishing
Why Workflows & Approvals Matter for Security & Compliance
Regulatory Alignment
Ensure your content operations meet the strict standards required by regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and industry-specific mandates. By enforcing review checkpoints and approval steps, dotCMS workflows help guarantee that sensitive information is handled in accordance with legal requirements, no matter where your team operates.
Audit Readiness
Every action taken within a workflow is automatically logged with user, date, and time details, creating a verifiable audit trail. Whether you’re preparing for an annual compliance review or responding to an unexpected audit, you’ll have a complete record of approvals, edits, and publishing decisions at your fingertips — without manual tracking.
Risk Mitigation
Reduce the chances of publishing inaccurate, incomplete, or unauthorized content. Built-in controls like multi-step approvals and permission-based actions ensure that only vetted and approved material reaches your audience, protecting your brand from misinformation, security breaches, and costly compliance violations.
