How it works · Governance, Risk and Compliance

Govern with context. Prove with confidence.

The AlignX Governance and Risk workflow connects policies, committees, risk, compliance, audit and evidence to the decisions they govern, so oversight is continuous rather than reconstructed. Governance is the umbrella; risk is one capability within it.

Federated sign-in has no manual fallback

A governance trigger enters, AI triage classifies and orchestrates it, specialist workflows do the work, the decision is captured with full accountability and lineage, governance is monitored continuously, and learning feeds improvement.

Inside Microsoft 365

In one sentence

The AlignX governance workflow takes a risk from assessment through treatment and monitoring to closure on one record, with the controls, evidence, actions and committee decisions attached along the way.
