On the occasion of the renaming of Profiles to Entities, Scott Ferguson, Director of Outbound Product Management, takes another look at the concept and boils it all down to a few words and some very practical examples.

"All people, places and things that....."

9 minutes well spent to master Entities once and for all.

Hello all,

getting started with GRC is not straightforward and the path to success can sometimes appear a little elusive.

Since February of this year, we have started putting together a series of video tutorials aimed at guiding, step-by-step, the new members of the GRC community. We all want them / you to be very successful, fast.

Now that we have a strong (and still growing) program of (FREE) tutorials to help our friends get started, we have packaged them into a simple one-place-to-go.

I am pleased to announce the launch of the new community area for new users of Policy & Compliance. If you are getting started with Policy & Compliance, you simply cannot afford to not review ALL the tutorials available and follow the guidance and tips shared by our specialists.

And "what about VRM" you may ask? Fear not, the same format is on the way.

Enjoy and engage.

Thank you all.
