Atlas Governance
By Atlas Governance
Atlas Governance typical implementation process:
Initial requirements assessment: Atlas Governance works with the client to understand organizational governance needs, security requirements, and user roles.
Platform configuration: The solution is tailored for board type (public, private, cooperative, government, nonprofit), access controls, and compliance standards, including enabling required certifications and encryption settings.
User onboarding and training: Atlas provides onboarding for administrators and board members, including live platform demos, user training sessions, and documentation access to ensure smooth adoption.
Data migration and setup: Existing governance records and documents are securely imported into the platform, with traceability and audit controls activated from the start.
Atlas Governance can be extensively customized to fit specific business needs, offering a wide range of configuration and tailoring options across governance process management, user interface design, policy enforcement, and advanced modules.
Administrators can personalize the platform with the company logo, custom background colors, and tailored branding, ensuring the Atlas portal matches organizational identity.
The portal supports granular role-based access and permissions, enabling custom workflows and approval chains that reflect each business’s governance structure.
Password policies, such as required strength and expiration intervals can be set by administrators to match internal security policies.
Device approval, electronic signature rules, and other enterprise security controls can be enabled or disabled depending on compliance requirements (available as add-ons or with the enterprise plan).
Meetings can be quickly created and configured with custom agendas, integrated videoconferencing, and participant management, adapting to unique board or committee procedures.
Strategic action and project modules allow for the creation, assignment, and tracking of business-critical projects, with fields for responsible parties, deadlines, and project statuses customized to organizational workflows.
Built-in council and committee evaluation tools let organizations define their own forms, response types (multiple choice, free response), and reporting metrics.
Automated minutes, meeting books (with personal annotations), and document management support multiple output formats and custom watermarks, streamlining records to internal requirements.
Policy and compliance settings (e.g., device restrictions, audit logging, document traceability) are flexible and can be tailored at both platform and user levels.
Integration and configuration of electronic/digital signatures (Atlas Sign) can be adapted for workflows requiring compliance with specific regulations (e.g., ICP-Brazil certificates).
Atlas GOV’s AI-powered indexing and intelligent search use natural language processing and synonym analysis, which can be tuned to support specific business vocabularies and document types.
Atlas Governance offers thorough training and responsive support to new users, ensuring a smooth onboarding process and ongoing effective use of the platform. New users benefit from guided onboarding sessions, step-by-step user guides, and a detailed knowledge base to help learn key features and workflows. For administrators, Atlas provides dedicated onboarding support for adding users, configuring boards, and managing permissions, including live demos and practical setup walkthroughs. Direct customer support is available through multiple channels—phone, online support requests, and resource centers—while educational materials, usage guides, and FAQ sections assist with independent learning and troubleshooting. Atlas emphasizes continual customer engagement, inviting feedback on help articles and offering quick assistance to resolve user queries, thus fostering high user satisfaction and rapid ramp-up for both individual users and organizational teams.
Atlas Governance implements robust security measures to protect data across its platform, reflecting industry best practices for cybersecurity and compliance.
Atlas Governance holds several top international certifications, including:
ISO 27001: Information security management systems
ISO 27017: Security controls for cloud services
ISO 27018: Protection of personal data in the cloud
ISO 27701: Privacy information management systems
These certifications indicate that Atlas adopts rigorous protocols for managing information security, cloud service security, personal data protection, and privacy management.
AES-256 Data Encryption: Uses Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys to encrypt stored data, providing a high level of security against unauthorized access.
Atlas Governance releases software updates regularly, with evidence of updates as recent as late September 2025 for their mobile application, indicating a frequent and ongoing update cycle that suggests monthly or even more rapid releases for critical components. These updates are managed to ensure that all users always have access to the latest features, security improvements, and interface enhancements, with real-time notification and scheduling integration for participants.
Update management on Atlas Governance platforms prioritizes real-time synchronization and minimal disruption: schedules and meeting agendas are updated for all participants immediately if any changes occur, keeping everyone aligned without manual intervention. All actions, including approvals and document updates, are logged and tracked in real time, and subscribers to specific modules are notified instantly whenever relevant data changes. This approach ensures that governance processes remain current and secure, with every new feature or fix automatically integrated into user workflows and instantly available to stakeholders.
Atlas Governance enforces strict data ownership and portability policies aligned with major international regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Data ownership is designated to each organization: all business, financial, and personal data processed on the Atlas platform is controlled by the organization, not Atlas as the provider. Organizations retain full rights to their data, which is classified, protected, and audited according to rigorous security and compliance standards.
Regarding data portability, Atlas Governance grants all organizations and end-users the right to receive a full copy of their personal or business data in a machine-readable format and supports direct data transfer to another solution if requested. This process is enabled whenever processing is based on contract or consent, and is managed so as not to interfere with secure access for other stakeholders. The platform's commitment to real-time traceability and structured logging ensures data can be exported efficiently while maintaining compliance with legal limitations and business continuity needs.
Atlas Governance allows organizations to scale their usage up or down flexibly according to changing needs, primarily through user-based licensing and modular service options. Clients can add or remove users at any time, adjust seat counts, upgrade feature modules, and expand to cover more boards or committees without penalty, subject to pro-rated billing for increased usage or refunds/credits for reductions if contract terms allow.
Scaling typically involves contacting Atlas support or using administrative controls in the portal to adjust user numbers, feature sets, or organizational structures. Billing adjustments are usually reflected in the next invoicing cycle, and services can be expanded for strategic events like mergers, acquisitions, or board expansions. If usage decreases, the organization may scale down its subscription at renewal or per contractual guidelines—often by providing advance written notice before the next billing cycle or contract renewal period.
Atlas does not require organizational restructuring or lengthy renegotiation to scale service; changes are managed dynamically, typically via online support or administrative dashboard controls, ensuring that organizations remain agile and aligned with business priorities. For scaling down, it is common for seat reduction or module removal to occur at renewal, or sooner if allowable by the contract, with data access and feature scope adjusted accordingly.
Atlas Governance contract renewal and cancellation terms generally follow standard SaaS industry practices, including the following key points:
Contracts are typically auto-renewed for the same period (for example, 12-month terms) unless the client gives written notice of termination within a specified period before renewal—often 90 days before the end of the current term.
Upon renewal, updated terms or price adjustments may apply, and clients are generally required to accept new terms if the agreements have been modified since the original contract.
Customers are notified through their account or by email if any substantive changes are made to the service agreement, with renewed acceptance often required.
Clients can cancel their subscription by giving written notice within the advance period defined in the agreement—commonly 90 days before the end of the current billing period.
Cancellation requests are typically processed via email and may also require telephone confirmation for organizational accounts.
Upon cancellation, all content and data linked to the account may be made unavailable but held for a limited period (e.g., up to 3 months post-cancellation) for retrieval before permanent deletion (often after 18 months).
If the client cancels more than 45 days before the term ends and all payments are made, there may be no further charges, and the cancellation can take effect before the end of the term as requested.
Atlas Governance software meets major international compliance standards, notably ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and ISO 27701, which are recognized as leading frameworks for information security management, cloud security, personal data protection, and privacy controls. These certifications ensure rigorous controls over data confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility across all Atlas platform services, including board management, document sharing, and meeting orchestration.
Atlas employs AES-256 data encryption and HTTPS TLS 1.3 transit encryption, aligning its cybersecurity practices with the most up-to-date technical standards required for compliance in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and the public sector. These measures place Atlas among the most secure governance platforms used by publicly traded companies, cooperatives, non-profits, and government entities in Brazil and internationally.
