Compliance Features in the 2007 Microsoft Office System

  • Article

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to point you to an excellent whitepaper that discusses compliance across the entire 2007 Microsoft Office System. Rather than talk about specific certifications Microsoft is pursuing (like DoD 5015.2), the paper explains the other side of compliance. It provides an overview of the compliance space and showcases the tools that Microsoft provides to help customers comply with regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley. Certainly many of the features on this blog are mentioned in the paper, but there are plenty of other products and features in there as well (Excel Services, Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and a lot more)

 

Here’s a summary of the paper:

“Compliance Features in the 2007 Microsoft Office System” showcases compliance-related features and extensibility opportunities within the 2007 Microsoft Office system, and demonstrates how the Office system can help you meet the demands of regulatory compliance. Out-of-the-box, the 2007 Office system provides many of the fundamental components required to support compliance regulations, such as auditing, records management, and data security. However, some degree of development and customization is necessary to tailor regulation-compliant solutions for particular organizations and environments. This paper provides examples of extending the platform to build custom compliance solutions for the financial services, healthcare, and accounting fields. The target audience includes developers, technical architects, and technical decision makers interested in delivering business solutions that leverage and extend the compliance-related feature set of the 2007 Microsoft Office system.

 

Joanna Bichsel, the author of the paper, also has a blog post about it.

 

Happy Reading!

    mic.dan - We've posted comments on both your questions.  Just follow the above links that you posted - and sorry for the delay. Briefly, though – we’ll have more posts in the future on our partner solutions.  And there is some additional configuration steps needed to enable the “Send to Records Center” functionality, but it absolutely does work with the bits available on MSDN and elsewhere. jborghoff - Thanks for your interest in the product - that's quite a list of questions.  When we created this blog, we didn’t envision it as a forum for such detailed Q&A.    However, answering these types of questions is exactly what our local sales field and partner liaisons are there to do.  If you have a local contact, please go ahead and contact them directly.  If not, we'll make sure someone gets in contact with you. Thanks to both of you!

    Recman, Thanks for your response.  However, please understand that we are here on this blog with the expectation that you are the definitive source for SharePoint RM, "Microsoft Records Management Team".  I've queried other Microsoft contacts and they too have deferred me to you and your team. So without sounding curt, for you to defer us elsewhere for RM questions strikes me as odd. Please look at my list as questions as an opportunity for you to create a FAQ that would prove to us that you know your products capabilities and are willing to be frank and honest about them. To me, it's ok for you to admit your product may not have or more of these features listed in this questionnaire, but please take the time to address them and supply us with a 3rd party SharePoint add-in solutions that would add the feature. Sincerely...

    If anyone is still watching this post... Two very interesting (and frustrating) questions were aroused in the SPS Community Discussion Group - 12 posts were registered, none of them managed to solve those problems:

  1. There seems to be no way to prevent users from watching other authors' documents in a docs. library - unlike un a list!
  2. It seems that only an Admin. can change the item-level security - i.e. the permission of a document - but the author of the doc. cannot change it! There's the link - pick the glove... http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.sharepoint.general&tid=0946e733-9129-4434-812f-bd91db30424b
