Slow to change
Approved wording changes can remain trapped inside engineering release cycles.
For regulated businesses
A controlled communication layer for the systems you already use.
CommsPliant gives compliance, operations and engineering teams one controlled place to manage approved customer emails, PDFs and letters.
Manage templates, version history, reviews, approvals, API rendering and audit evidence without replacing your existing systems.
A working platform open to new clients and potential design partners.
The problem
A wording change shouldn’t require a software release.
In regulated businesses, customer communications explain important rights, obligations, payments and decisions.
But templates are often scattered across application code, shared folders, development tickets and internal systems.
As a result, even a small wording change can become slow, difficult to control and complicated to evidence during an audit or investigation.
Hard to trace
Teams may struggle to identify which version was approved, which version was used and which communication was generated for a particular customer.
Risky to manage
Outdated or inconsistent wording can create compliance gaps, remediation work and potential customer harm.
The solution
Control, rendering and audit evidence for regulated customer communications.
CommsPliant brings template management, version control, approval workflows, communication rendering and audit evidence into one structured workspace.
Business teams create or update the content.
Reviewers comment and request changes.
Authorised approvers control which versions can be released and used.
Your existing CRM, claims platform, pensions system, insurance platform or internal application continues to manage customer data, customer journeys and sending.
CommsPliant provides the controlled communication and evidence layer connected to those systems.
For compliance and operations
- Manage templates without repeated developer tickets
- Preview communications before approval
- Control reviews and approvals before release
- Preserve approved versions and their history
- Retrieve audit evidence more easily
- Identify which version was used for a specific communication
For engineering
- Connect existing systems through an API
- Keep control of customer data and integrations
- Remove routine wording changes from software release cycles
- Render the correct approved template version
- Use encrypted fields or non-personal references where required
How it works
From approved wording to rendered communication and audit evidence.
-
Create or update a template
Manage customer emails, PDFs and letters in a structured, version-controlled workspace.
Templates can include variables for customer, product or system data.
-
Review and approve
Route changes through configurable review and approval workflows.
Decisions, comments, timestamps and approver identities are recorded.
-
Lock and preserve the approved version
Once approved, the version is locked and cannot be silently changed or overwritten.
Previous approved versions remain preserved as part of the version history.
-
Render through the API
Your existing system provides the required data and receives the communication rendered from the correct approved version.
Your organisation retains control of customer data, operational processes and sending channels.
-
Preserve the audit evidence
CommsPliant records:
- The template and version used
- Review and approval history
- Timestamps
- Approver identities
- The customer or communication reference
- The communication channel
- A cryptographic hash of the rendered output
These records provide evidence of the generated content and the approved version used.
Audit records are preserved as immutable records so that they cannot be silently changed or deleted.
Where a client requires it, the full rendered document can also be retained.
Where that information is available, sending and delivery status can also be recorded.
Features
Built for controlled communication management.
Everything regulated teams need to manage approved wording properly — with governance, traceability and speed.
Templates and content
Create, manage and organise all communication content in one central workspace.
All approved communication templates — emails, letters, PDFs, notifications — live in one place. Business teams can find, edit and manage them without technical knowledge or developer involvement.
Approval workflows
Structured review and sign-off at every stage. Nothing goes live without the right approval.
Define who needs to review and approve changes before they go live. Compliance, legal, risk or any combination — the workflow is structured and enforced, not left to email chains or informal sign-off.
Version control
Track every change, compare versions, and restore previous approved wording at any time.
Every edit is versioned. You can see exactly what changed, who changed it, and when. If a previous version needs to be restored — for audit, compliance or operational reasons — it is one click away.
Audit logs
Complete history of every change, review and approval. Always ready if a regulator or auditor asks.
CommsPliant keeps a permanent record of every action taken on every piece of communication content. If a regulator asks what wording was in use on a specific date — you have the answer, immediately.
API rendering
Your existing systems pull approved content via API. One integration, works with any tech stack.
CommsPliant works with PHP, Python, Java, Go and any other stack. Engineering integrates once. After that, all content updates happen in CommsPliant — no further deployments required on the engineering side.
Roles and permissions
Role-based access for every team. The right people can edit, review or approve — nothing more.
Business teams get editing access. Compliance teams get review and approval access. Engineering teams get API and integration access. Each role sees and controls only what they need to.
Reminder emails
Prevent approvals getting stuck by automatically reminding reviewers when wording is waiting.
Approval bottlenecks are one of the most common causes of delayed communication updates. CommsPliant automatically sends reminders to reviewers when a version is waiting for their sign-off, keeping the workflow moving.
PDF password protection
Restrict access to sensitive PDF communications by setting a password at the point of generation.
For regulated communications that contain sensitive customer data, CommsPliant allows you to generate password-protected PDFs directly from your approved templates. Passwords can be set manually or generated dynamically — for example, using a customer's date of birth or reference number — ensuring only the intended recipient can open the document.
Three teams, one workflow
Business, compliance and engineering — finally working from the same source of truth.
CommsPliant solves a problem that lives between teams. It makes life easier for all three.
Update communications without waiting
Prepare and update wording directly, without raising a development ticket every time something needs to change.
Full control over approved wording
Review, approve and track every wording change with clearer control, structured workflows and a complete audit trail.
Integrate once, step back
Connect via API once. After that, content changes never touch the codebase. Fewer tickets. Cleaner deployments.
Who it is for

About CommsPliant
A working platform, built around real communication processes.
CommsPliant is a customer communication governance platform developed and operated by Alpha Creative Solutions.
The core system is already in place, including controlled templates, version history, approval workflows, audit records, API rendering and customer-specific communication evidence.
CommsPliant is currently welcoming new clients and potential design partners.
Each engagement begins by understanding the organisation’s existing processes, systems, integration requirements and operational needs. This allows the platform to be configured, integrated and extended around how the organisation manages, approves, renders and evidences its customer communications.
