Rule Lifecycle Management keep policies continuously reviewed
Create
Review
Recertify
Expire
The Problem
Rules accumulate over time, ownership becomes unclear, and periodic reviews turn into a last-minute audit scramble—especially when temporary rules are forgotten.
The Output
Opinnate enforces a repeatable lifecycle: scheduled reviews, evidence-backed recertification, and automated handling of expiring rules with governance.
Continuous review cadence (not yearly fire drills)
Clear ownership and traceability for rule decisions
Reduced risk from forgotten temporary access
Each use case links to related capabilities and editions.
Schedule reviews and ownership
Define review cycles and owners for rule sets (by segment, app, or business unit).
Recertify with evidence
Use rule/object usage signals and historical context to confirm what’s still needed and what can be tightened or removed.
Handle expiring rules with a dedicated workflow (differentiator)
For rules with an expiry date, Opinnate runs a separate flow to manage upcoming expiration: notify stakeholders, validate continued need, and execute the appropriate outcome (extend, tighten, disable, or remove) with full traceability.
A tailored walkthrough based on your vendors, policy volume, and governance requirements.
