Introduction

If I asked you right now to show me exactly who in your company has read the latest Data Protection Policy, what would you do?

For 90% of HR and Operations managers, the answer involves:

1. Searching through Outlook for "Read Receipt" emails.
2. Opening a file called Compliance_Tracker_FINAL_v3.xlsx
3. Manually cross-referencing a list of current employees (which might be out of date).

This is the "Spreadsheet of Doom." And it is eating your week.

The Problem with Static Data

The moment you save that spreadsheet, it is out of date.

• Did a new starter join this morning? They aren't on the list.
• Did someone leave yesterday? They are still showing as "non-compliant," skewing your stats.
• Did you update the policy? Now you have to reset the sheet and start chasing everyone again.

The "Chasing" Tax

The real cost isn't the spreadsheet itself; it's the time you spend feeding it. Most admins spend 4-5 hours a week just sending "friendly reminders" to staff who haven't signed a document. That’s half a day, every week, wasted on being a "human notification system."

Move to Active Compliance

The solution is to stop managing compliance manually. Enlytning replaces the spreadsheet with a live, automated dashboard.

• Automated Chasing: You set the rule ("All staff must sign by Friday"). The system sends the emails and reminders. You don't lift a finger.
• Question-Level Intelligence: Go deeper than "pass/fail." Drill down to see exactly which questions your team is getting wrong.
• One Source of Truth: Your dashboard is always live, always accurate, and always ready for an audit.

Stop working for your spreadsheet. Make the software work for you.
