Here's why you need this guide:

Because in regulated industries:

  • Your intranet is part of your risk surface
  • Auditors will ask questions IT must answer
  • Compliance can no longer be “handled later”
  • Shadow IT creates real legal exposure
  • Poor governance silently erodes trust and security

 

This guide gives you a clear framework to:

  • Align IT, Compliance, Legal, and business teams
  • Encode regulatory requirements into daily operations
  • Balance control with agility
  • Move from reactive governance to compliance by design

If your intranet lives inside Microsoft 365 and your organization operates under regulatory pressure, this guide is your blueprint for staying compliant—without becoming a bottleneck.
