If you’re in similar position to the majority of live attendees at this webinar who had very little or no knowledge of Microsoft Compliance Manager and its capabilities, watch the full recording for an introduction to the dashboard and an orientation of the Microsoft Purview solutions. If your organisation uses Microsoft Office, the bulk of your company’s data is probably transacted through there and you’re likely to already have this amazing tool at your disposal.
Our compliance/legal expert, Nivasha Sanilal, introduces compliance/risk professionals to the portal. Its interface is designed to be used by non technical professionals responsible for data compliance and governance. As well as pointing you to where you can find it, Nivasha talks us through the compliance score dashboard, explaining how the score is calculated and what the other metrics on the dashboard are telling you.
In the webinar we also discuss when the compliance score is useful:
· When kicking off and first activating Compliance Manager, the score is based on the Microsoft 365 data protection baseline template, and this serves as an excellent basis for a control gap analysis. It also covers all the most common data protection requirements (from EU GDPR, NIST and ISO27001) so it can give you an immediate sense of where you stand on the compliance spectrum.
· As you implement controls, it can help to direct you to improvement actions that will lower your overall risk and increase your compliance score.
· Monitoring is a key part of any GRC process. The compliance score allows you to actively check the adequacy and effectiveness of a control from one single interface. Improvement actions provide guidance intended to help you align with data protection regulations and standards. They can be assigned to users in your organisation and you can store notes, documentation and record status updates.
· Finally, the compliance score allows for comprehensive reporting.
Watch now for an introduction to Compliance Score and legal/risk compliance perspective on how you can use it to provide invaluable insights for improving data compliance and reducing risk.
