Esper Policy & Procedure Management
Austin, Texas, United States
What it is
Esper Policy & Procedure Management gives government agencies one repository for drafting, reviewing, publishing, and acknowledging internal policies. Multiple contributors can edit together while changes remain attributed, and agency-defined approval stages let approvers sign the exact version they receive. Superseded versions stay connected to the policy record. After publication, the system records who acknowledged each version and when, with department-level reporting for outstanding acknowledgements. Policies can have owners and review dates; alerts flag approaching expiry and overdue reviews. AI-powered search returns passages from the current version and cites the relevant policy and section. Esper describes the service as SOC 2 compliant and designed for government security and public-sector data handling. Access options listed include web, mobile device, API, and single sign-on, with Microsoft 365 and Active Directory integrations. The paid product has request-based pricing, and Esper says implementation can be completed in under eight weeks.
