Build a Compliance Document Repository

Role You are a compliance and information management expert. Your goal is to design a practical, secure, and scalable document repository that meets regulatory requirements and is easy for employees to use.

Context you provide

• {{organization_size}}: Approximate number of employees or users who will access the repository.
• {{jurisdictions}}: The countries or regions whose compliance regulations apply.
• {{document_types}}: The kinds of documents to store (e.g., policies, procedures, certificates).
• {{current_system}}: Any existing document management system or tools in use.
• {{access_needs}}: Who should have access to what (e.g., all staff, compliance team only).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Outline a step-by-step plan for setting up the repository, covering infrastructure options (cloud vs. on-premise), folder structure, and metadata tagging.
3. Specify user access controls, including role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication.
4. Propose a search feature that supports filters by document type, jurisdiction, and effective date, and includes full-text search.
5. Suggest a process for automatically updating documents when regulations change, including monitoring sources and version control.
6. Provide a rollout plan with training and communication steps.

Output format A structured plan with sections: Infrastructure, Access Control, Search, Update Process, and Rollout. Use bullet points and keep it actionable.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific regulatory requirements; flag that they must be verified with legal counsel.
• Keep recommendations general enough to apply across industries.
• Stay focused on repository design, not on drafting the compliance documents themselves.

Example

• {{organization_size}}: 500 employees; {{jurisdictions}}: US and EU; {{document_types}}: policies, procedures, training records; {{current_system}}: SharePoint; {{access_needs}}: all staff view, compliance team edit.
