A new opportunity for risk and controls leaders
The pace of regulatory change and the growth of data are creating a real opportunity: to rethink how the controls lifecycle works, and to give risk and compliance teams the tools they've been waiting for.
Together, PwC and Microsoft are helping organisations modernise the full regulation and controls lifecycle, designing the right controls, monitoring them in real time, and tracing every regulatory obligation back to a policy, process or control.
Watch the three short films below to see what's possible.
Process Mapping and Control
There's a faster, smarter way to map processes and design controls. Enabled by Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Foundry and Microsoft Fabric, PwC uses agentic AI to turn a single meeting transcript into a fully mapped process — complete with risks, controls and a clear narrative for every step.
The AI highlights opportunities to strengthen risks and controls coverage, and surfaces ways to optimise and automate control design — so your experts can focus their expertise where it adds the most value.

Continuous Monitoring
Imagine knowing your controls are working — right now, with confidence.
PwC's agentic AI solutions, enabled by Microsoft, unlock data from across your systems, bring together inputs from multiple sources, and automate the analysis to deliver deeper insight. Exceptions are surfaced in real time, so your best people can focus on enhancing controls, driving business benefits, and keeping everything up to date, accurate and effective.
Regulatory Traceability
Tracking regulatory obligations — and demonstrating how each one is met — is one of the most valuable capabilities a modern compliance function can build. PwC's Regulatory Traceability solution, enabled by Microsoft technology, brings automation and acceleration to that capability.
We help you build an obligations register that gives you a clear regulatory baseline, supported by PwC insights and horizon scanning to keep pace with change. Then we map your policies, processes and controls onto that register — revealing opportunities to rationalise duplicate controls, streamline overlapping policies and close any gaps. The result: a more efficient framework, an auditable approach to obligations, and more effective end-to-end risk management.
