Jeff Jinnett: GRC White Papers, Online Articles and Blogs of Some Microsoft Partners

  • Articolo

Microsoft has an extensive ecosystem of software and systems integration partners with offerings in the governance, risk management and compliance space[i]. The three areas of governance, risk management and compliance intersect to a certain extent and some Microsoft partners have solution offerings bridging all three topics, such as Open Text[ii]. Other Microsoft partners have offerings that are individually focused on governance, risk management or compliance. For example, Prodiance offers spreadsheet control solutions that can help companies comply with internal financial control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and internal auditing standards, such as GTAG-14.
