Platform Director Overview

Version 2.11 brings a series of strategic improvements aimed at enhancing usability, streamlining workflows, and strengthening the platform’s performance. With this release, we’ve focused on making the user experience more intuitive and efficient while ensuring the system remains robust and scalable for future needs.

A strategic enhancement is the ability to configure the Forms Co-Pilot feature to use your own Azure OpenAI instance. This gives organizations greater control and customization of the AI’s responses, and, most importantly, full control over where data is processed and stored. This is a significant consideration for all of our clients using AI.

We have also made a number of improvements to our forms, including the ability to prevent end dates from being set before start dates in forms. This feature addresses a common challenge, ensuring greater data consistency and reducing the risk of errors in project planning. We’ve also made significant improvements to the translation functionality, ensuring that email notifications and summary reports are displayed in the recipient’s preferred language, offering a more personalized experience.

On the technical side, the upgrade to .NET 8 enhances platform performance and security, while caching OAuth access tokens streamlines integration calls, making the system faster and more efficient. These updates lay the foundation for a more responsive and scalable platform.

We’re excited about these enhancements and look forward to seeing how they improve your experience. As always, we appreciate your feedback and remain committed to continuously evolving the platform to meet your needs.

    From compliance to confidence: a practical guide to a proactive always on data privacy program

    Most large organizations say they have privacy covered. And on paper, they do. In practice, privacy often lives as disconnected work: documents, templates, and one-off reviews that prove something happened once, not a system that controls what happens next. That gap matters because privacy risk is created by change. A new analytics use case. A…

    DORA just got a UK handshake: the EU – UK ICT oversight pact is a warning shot for third-party risk

    If your business depends on a small set of shared providers like cloud, identity, payments, or data platforms, your operational resilience risk is no longer just a “your firm” issue. It’s a system wide dependency. Regulators are now shifting supervision to where that risk sits: at the provider level, not just inside each regulated company.…

    Beyond the checkbox: A value‑based guide to enterprise conflict of interest management

    The conflict-of-interest wake-up call Most organizations do have a conflict of interest (COI) policy.  What they actually have, in practice, is this:  Legacy GRC will tell you that’s “good coverage.” It isn’t. It’s paperwork.  Conflicts of interest rarely blow up because they were hidden. They blow up because they were normalized, misunderstood, or never escalated until after a decision was made and challenged.  If you’re trying to run effective value-based…
