🔹 Azure DevOps


Azure DevOps from Microsoft is a comprehensive platform often used by development and DevOps teams for project management, code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and more.


With Brainframe GRC’s integration, you can link to relevant Azure DevOps content directly within your Brainframe GRC folder structure, allowing you to reference tickets, repositories, or other Azure DevOps items without duplicating content.


Before linking your Brainframe instance to your Azure DevOps environment, you must go to"https://dev.azure.com/<organization>/_usersSettings/tokens"and create a READ key on "work items".  (Make sure to replace "<organization>" with the name of the organization you are linking to your instance).


Once the integration is configured, you will have access to all the tickets in your Azure DevOps, and you will have the option to import them to Brainframe GRC with a comprehensive representation or link them to existing documents.


You can also directly access your documents in Azure by clicking on the "Open in Azure DevOps" button inside the document.



🔹 SharePoint


SharePoint (part of Microsoft 365) is one of the most used corporate document storage solutions which often contains information you'll need as evidence in your GRC/ISMS/QMS. 


To avoid duplicating the document, and risking the content to diverge, we let you create a representation of single documents from SharePoint and structure them in a way that makes sense for your management system.


The first time you click on this integration, you will need to log in with your Microsoft account, and authorise the read only access.


Once the integration is configured, you will be presented by a SharePoint navigation that allows you to search for existing documents. Once you select a document, we'll create a representation of the document inside the current Brainframe GRC folder with a preview.


SharePoint permissions are personal, meaning that any document representation that you create inside Brainframe GRC requires other Brainframe GRC users to also have permissions before they can see the content.


⚠️ Caution: Changes in SharePoint are not instantly reflected in Brainframe GRC. Use “Update Document Preview” in the document’s View More menu to refresh.
