Esper Policy & Procedure Management brings a government agency’s policy work into one repository, from drafting and review through publication and acknowledgement. Multiple contributors can edit a policy with changes attributed to them, and agency-defined approval steps let each approver sign the version they receive. The record retains superseded versions and links edits and approvals to the policy. After publication, the system records who acknowledged each version and when, and can show outstanding acknowledgements by department. Each policy can have an owner and review date; alerts flag upcoming expiry, while overdue reviews are tracked. AI-powered search returns passages from the version currently in force and cites the policy and section. Esper describes the product as SOC 2 compliant and designed for government security requirements and public-sector data handling. Listed access includes web, mobile device, API, and single sign-on, with Microsoft 365 and Active Directory integrations. Esper says its team works with agencies to get them live in under eight weeks. The product is paid, and visitors can request a demo and pricing. Esper was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
