Documentation
Your company's knowledge base: procedures, instructions and configurations, written once and searchable by whoever needs them.
The procedures that matter should not live in two people's heads
In many companies the important procedures exist only in the memory of the people who carry them out. When that person is not there, everyone improvises.
Dottor Box Documentation is a documentation wiki dedicated to your company, where that knowledge is written down and becomes searchable: how the firewall is configured, what to do when a customer asks for their data to be erased, who to call if the business management system will not start.
Every page keeps its history of changes, so you always know what has changed and when. And when the company decides to get certified, those pages can become the procedures of the management system without being rewritten.
Your content can be exported in open formats: PDF, HTML, Markdown, text or a full archive. No lock-in to the supplier.
What you get
A structure that holds up
Libraries, books, chapters and pages: tidy even when the pages run into the hundreds.
Revisions you can compare
The history of every page, with a comparison between two versions.
Export in open formats
A book, a chapter or a page in PDF, HTML, Markdown, text or as an archive.
Targeted permissions
Permissions per library and per book: not everyone needs to see everything.
A company wiki built to last
Writing the documentation is half the job. The other half is finding it again, keeping it up to date and knowing who changed it. The wiki has the tools for all three.
- Search across all content
- Tags and favourites
- Page templates, to write procedures with the same structure
- Attachments and images within pages
- Revision history and comparison between versions
- Recycle bin with restore
- Activity log
Its own login, separate from the application
Documentation has its own access system, separate from that of the Dottor Box platform. People who need to consult the procedures do not need an account on the security application, and vice versa.
It is a useful separation: you can open the documentation to technicians, consultants or colleagues in other departments without giving them access to scan data.
- Login with its own accounts and invitations
- Multi-factor authentication
- Federated login with SAML2 and OIDC
- Permissions per library and per book
From wiki pages to management system procedures
For customers working towards certification, Documentation pages can be migrated to the Compliance module as versioned procedures linked to the requirements of the standard.
There they gain an ISO-style cover page, TLP classification, a revision log and approval. The content you have already written does not need to be redone.
No lock-in to the supplier. Export in open formats works for a whole book, a chapter or a single page. If one day you want to take your documentation elsewhere, you take it with you in a format any tool can read.
Questions about documentation
Do you need a Dottor Box account to consult the documentation?
No. Documentation has its own login, separate from the application, with invitations, multi-factor authentication and federated login via SAML2 or OIDC.
Can I export everything if I change supplier?
Yes. A book, a chapter or a page can be exported to PDF, HTML, Markdown, plain text or a full archive: open formats that any tool can read.
How is it different from the procedures in the Compliance module?
Documentation is the company's operational knowledge base. The procedures in the Compliance module are management system documents, with approval and links to requirements. Wiki pages can be migrated there when they are needed for certification.
Which standards it supports
Every security standard requires procedures that are documented, controlled and available to those who have to apply them. Documentation is the place to write them and keep them alive.
