What is Compliance Read Reporting?

Distribution and consumption are different facts and are constantly conflated. A policy emailed to four thousand people has been distributed; whether anyone read it is unknown, and in a dispute that distinction is the entire question. Read reporting requires the document to be consumed somewhere instrumented — which is why policy distributed as an email attachment produces no evidence at all beyond proof of sending. Because governed documents in Centralpoint are served rather than detached, opening is observable and attributable to a person and a version. That evidence sits alongside acknowledgement and assessment records, so an organization can distinguish sent, opened, acknowledged and understood rather than presenting them as one fact — which is the distinction an examiner draws even when the internal report does not.
