More often than not, contracts need to be managed and acknowledged by internal users. These contracts should be located on an area of the Intranet. However, quite often you may wish to make them visible to partners, contractors who are external to your organization. SharePoint can be configured in such a way that these users can also gain access to the policies, without compromising security.

SharePoint ships with auditing capabilities out of the box, although they need to be configured and turned on at both the site collection and site level. Once they are configured at this level it’s then possible to configure at the list containing your contracts. This way you can monitor the contracts such as who opened, moved, edited, deleted a contract. Every change is added to the contract information.
