Decisions that matter

Visibility by purpose

Grant access because a role must act on the information—not because the data is available.

Retention

Use the approved legal, contractual and operating requirement; document exceptions separately.

Audit claims

Describe supported create, edit, status and assignment coverage by module. Avoid claiming every action is logged without evidence.

  1. Step 1

    Map information by workflow

    Document what each workflow collects, why it is needed and whether it is anonymous, confidential or identified.

  2. Step 2

    Set role visibility

    Grant access based on operational need and test the experience for every role.

  3. Step 3

    Approve retention

    Set retention based on documented legal, contractual and operational requirements.

  4. Step 4

    Review Passport sharing

    Separate employer roster identity from the Passport information a worker is asked to share.

  5. Step 5

    Verify the audit trail

    Confirm which supported create, edit, status and assignment events are recorded and exportable.

  6. Step 6

    Publish understandable notices

    Explain information use before rollout and provide a clear route for questions, corrections and rights requests.

Prove it worked

  • Every pilot field has a purpose
  • Role tests prove both allowed and denied access
  • Retention is approved and recorded
  • The Audit Log and CSV export are accessible only to authorized administrators

Common problems and safe recovery

A supervisor can see more worker detail than expected.

Review individual-status visibility, role permissions and module-level access before continuing the pilot.

The audit export lacks an expected event.

Record the gap and confirm module coverage before relying on it for an assurance claim.

What happens next

Run the pilot’s role-by-role access test and retain the approved configuration record with the launch decision.
