The Benefits Breakdown

• Risk, Control and Test Cycle Management: Our pre-configured DevOps environment has the ability to capture all relevant risk, control, and test cycle data. The data is stored a relational format that supports one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships between items (e.g. processes, risks, controls, tests).

• Process and Automation Ready: Compliance process data capture can be achieved through multiple means: bulk upload using Microsoft Excel’s built-in add-in; individual entry through the DevOps online interface; or, automated entry using Microsoft Power Automate.

• Security and Governance: As an agile work management tool, Azure DevOps has out of the box functionality to manage, track and maintain data stored in the environment, including a detailed audit trail. Access controls are in place to limit edit rights for selected fields to specific security groups.

• Insights: Microsoft Power BI has built in data connectors to integrate with Azure DevOps data allowing for seamless BI reporting. This enables robust visualizations and reports showing risk and control matrices that can be customized via filters, test cycle tracking, and more.
