General Counsels and CoSecs

Audit-Ready by Default

Build governance that documents itself — every action logged, every approval tracked, every record defensible. Stop scrambling before audits and start running systems that satisfy compliance by design.

Reduce Your Risk

Proactively reduce risk and foster compliance culture using OnBoard’s intuitive features.

Maintain Private Communications

OnBoard maintains private communications and reduces legal exposure.

Control Access & Limit Liability

Easily control access to sensitive data and prevent breaches.

Compliance Without Compromise

Create a culture where duties of care and loyalty are quantified, documented, and proactively reduce risk.

Contain Risk Before It Becomes Liability

Every manual process is a gap waiting to be discovered. Documents scattered across systems. Access permissions that were never revoked. Retention policies that exist on paper but not in practice. Replace the anxiety of "did we do this right?" with systems that prove you did — automatically, consistently, and without wondering.

ISO Cert

Answer "When Did We Approve This?" in Seconds, Not Hours

When the board asks about a prior decision, you need the answer immediately — not after an hour of searching through email threads and shared drives. Retrieve any approval, vote, or policy in seconds with a searchable system of record that makes historical context instantly accessible.

Manual Processes Create Invisible Risks

The risks you can't see are the ones that become liabilities. Documents that should have been retained — deleted. Access that should have been revoked — still active. Policies that should be enforced — existing only on paper. Build governance that closes gaps automatically instead of hoping manual processes caught everything.

Compliance That Gets Stronger Over Time

Compliance requirements evolve — your vendor should too. Partner with a platform that continuously invests in security certifications, regulatory updates, and new compliance capabilities so your posture strengthens as the world changes. Stop chasing compliance and let ongoing updates deliver it automatically.

Be the Face of Effective Compliance

Governance credibility comes from systems that work. Track requirements, manage roles, capture approvals, and maintain documentation — so compliance is built into how your board operates, not layered on top.

Manage Roles & Terms in One Place

Track director terms, committee assignments, and role changes with automatic reminders before expirations.

Streamline D&O Questionnaires

Collect and manage director and officer questionnaires digitally with built-in tracking and reminders. No more chasing responses or wondering who's completed what.

Control Access With Granular Permissions

Set precise access controls by role, document, or meeting. Know exactly who can see what — and prove it.

Capture Every Approval & Vote

Document decisions with audit-ready records — who voted, when, and how. No more reconstructing approvals from memory.

FAQs

How does this change how we manage minutes and the review process?

Minutes, motions, and attendance live in one workspace instead of scattered Word files and email threads. You capture decisions against the agenda, route minutes for review in the portal, and keep one approved version as the record. If you choose to use Minutes AI, it creates a draft based on the meeting so reviewers react to a starting point instead of a blank page.

AI is assistive, not authoritative. It can draft minutes or summaries, but nothing becomes part of the official record until a human reviewer approves it. You can edit, redline, or discard AI output, set who is allowed to use it, and turn AI off entirely if needed for certain boards or meetings. That keeps legal firmly in control of the final language.

Each meeting has a complete package: agenda, materials, attendance, motions, votes, and approved minutes. Once finalized, those records are stored in a central archive. You can apply retention policies and export materials for audits, regulatory reviews, or discovery without reconstructing the story from multiple systems.

Board packets, drafts, and minutes move out of personal inboxes and shared folders into a governed system with permissions, encryption, and audit trails. Access is based on role, not distribution lists, and you can see who has viewed or changed what. That lowers the chance of mis-sent files, uncontrolled copies, or gaps when you need to reconstruct what was shared and when.

Most C-level buyers weigh the license against staff hours spent on manual prep, version chasing, and follow-up. When you factor in wages, printing, and the risk of errors or delays, the software usually replaces a patchwork of tools and frees time for more strategic work.

We also have an ROI calculator available you can find here.

Dynamic watermarking lets you add user-specific or meeting-specific markings to sensitive documents. Watermarks appear on pages when materials are viewed, downloaded, or printed, so it’s clear the files are confidential and who they were prepared for. You control when watermarking is turned on and what it displays.
