Beyond SharePoint Policy Management
SharePoint Limitations
SharePoint-based policy management has inherent limitations for AI governance: policies live in documents, not workflows, and there's no point-of-use enforcement capability.
Beyond Documents
ConvergePoint ensures policies are documented and acknowledged in SharePoint. PolicyGuard ensures policies are enforced when employees actually use AI tools.
Independence from SharePoint
PolicyGuard is a standalone SaaS platform. No SharePoint dependency, no complex Microsoft 365 configuration required.
Faster Deployment
Skip the SharePoint setup. PolicyGuard deploys in days with a browser extension, not weeks of SharePoint configuration.
