Standalone Application
The Compliance Workspace provides a single-pane view for compliance managers and analysts to assess the organization's overall compliance posture. It enables them to track time-sensitive issues, high-risk exceptions, ongoing policy acknowledgments, and new regulatory changes. The workspace also allows them to define and manage the compliance library, test the effectiveness of controls, and continuously monitor control performance through Key Control Indicators (KCIs). Using the centralized issue management capability, they can also define the remediation plans and ensure that the control gaps are addressed promptly.

New
- Policy authoring now supports a hybrid authentication approach for Google Drive and Sharepoint, using both personal and service accounts:
- Actions such as creating, connecting, and uploading documents use personal authentication.
- Actions such as enabling or disabling sync, updating links, and finalizing the playbook use the service account.
- An alternative DOCX-to-HTML conversion API is now available for Policy authoring, resolving overlapping text issues in translated Knowledge articles caused by the current GroupDocs-based API. Note that output formatting may differ from the current API.
- A dashboard landing page is now available on the left panel of the Compliance Workspace.
- Control, entity, and user information is now displayed in control attestation (smart assessment) lists across the Compliance Workspace.
