Clicking on any of the regulations will display the shared responsibility model for that regulation From here I can view what are the Microsoft Managed Controls and what are the Customer Managed Controls that I am responsible for.

 

 

Expanding Customer Managed Controls, I can see how each control maps back to the regulation articles (in this example, Access Authorization for HIPAA in Office 365). From here I can read more about actions required of me, enter details on how the control was implemented and how it was tested – including any response. In addition I can see if there are any related controls from other regulations, such as GDPR Lastly, I can assign this control to an owner in my organization to then upload relevant documentation and maintain the implementation date, test date, and test result information.
