New Microsoft Cloud Compliance Manager

I would like to draw your attention to the announcement about the new Compliance Manager Preview which as recently announced.

Announcement - https://blogs.office.com/en-us/2017/11/16/microsoft-365-helps-businesses-increase-trust-and-innovation-through-compliance-with-compliance-manager-preview/

The new Compliance Manager is a new cross-Microsoft Cloud services solution that is focused on helping customers protecting their data.  The Compliance Manager provides real-time risk assessment that reflects your entire compliance position for data protection.

The Compliance Manager gives you insight to controls you have implemented versus controls that Microsoft has implemented.  Over the years this is something that I have discussed extensively with Microsoft Office 365 cloud customers.  Microsoft does all the work on our side to implement all the required controls defined in such standards FedRAMP (NIST 800-53), FedRAMP+ (DoD CC SRG IL5), ISO, HIPPA, etc. yet there are still controls that are required customer implementation and configuration.  Microsoft gives you the features and capabilities to complete customer owned configurations, yet these configurations remain the responsibility of the customer.  This Compliance Manager will give you better insights, recommendations and guidance.
