Leadership worries policies will silently go stale over multi-year cycles. What lifecycle planning should the compliance team include?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Policies age like milk if nobody checks the date. Put a review or recertification cycle on the calendar so owners reaffirm or refresh them. Silent forever-active policies are how obsolete rules keep a false green light.

Policy lifecycle planning includes periodic review and recertification so published policies do not remain active indefinitely without validation. Configured review cycles assign owners to reaffirm or revise content on a defined schedule. Omitting review, monthly mass retirement, or annual deletion without records all undermine controlled policy currency.
