Strategy Exists. Execution Lacks Visibility.
Most enterprises have a strategic plan but no reliable way to see if it's being executed. OKRs live in quarterly spreadsheets, policies in unchecked drives, compliance docs are assembled by hand, and risk registers are cut off from the teams that own the risk. Leadership flies blind, and governance becomes retrospective instead of live. That's the gap CGC closes right inside the SharePoint environment you already run on.
One Governance Platform. No New Infrastructure.
CGC unifies strategy, governance, projects, and reporting in one SharePoint tool no separate logins, contracts, or migrations. Your data, controls, and people stay put, while AI handles routine approvals, reminders, and attestations so your team focuses on decisions, not admin.

FAQs On
Centric Governance Central
What exactly does Centric Governance Central do?
CGC is an enterprise governance and execution platform built on Microsoft SharePoint. It gives organizations a single environment to manage strategic objectives (OKRs/KPIs), policies, risk registers, compliance documentation, project milestones, and executive dashboards. Rather than spreading governance across disconnected tools spreadsheets for OKRs, shared drives for policies, email for approvals CGC centralizes everything in one SharePoint-native platform with structured workflows, role-based access, and real-time reporting for leadership. It is the operational backbone between your strategy and your results.
How is CGC different from tools like Monday.com, Asana, or Workday Strategic Planning?
Project management tools like Monday.com and Asana manage tasks. HRIS planning modules manage headcount. CGC manages governance — which is a layer above project execution and separate from HR planning. It connects strategic intent (OKRs, board-level objectives) to operational compliance (policies, risk, audit documentation) with structured approval workflows and an immutable audit trail. Critically, CGC runs natively inside Microsoft SharePoint, which means your IT team doesn't need to approve a new SaaS vendor, your data stays in your Microsoft 365 tenant, and your existing Azure AD permissions govern who sees and acts on what. No tool in the general project management category provides this governance depth within a Microsoft-native architecture.
We already use Microsoft 365. Do we need anything additional to run CGC?
No new infrastructure is required. CGC is provisioned on your existing Microsoft 365 tenant — it installs into SharePoint Online, uses Azure Active Directory for authentication and permissions, and integrates with Microsoft Teams, Power BI, and Planner out of the box. If you're procuring through the Azure Marketplace, CGC can be live in your environment within 24 hours. For White-Glove implementations, our SharePoint consulting team handles all setup, configuration, and integration within your existing Microsoft environment.
Can CGC help us prepare for regulatory audits (SOX, ISO 27001, SOC 2)?
Yes. CGC is specifically designed to reduce the burden of regulatory audit preparation. The platform maintains a continuously updated policy library with version history, owner attribution, and review timestamps. Compliance attestations are captured through structured workflows, not email confirmations. Risk registers track issues, owners, and remediation status in real time. When an audit occurs, your team can generate audit-ready documentation packages from CGC's SharePoint environment — rather than spending weeks assembling records from multiple systems. CGC has been deployed in financial services, healthcare, and government contracting environments where SOX, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 compliance are standing requirements.
How does CGC handle OKR tracking across multiple departments and business units?
CGC supports hierarchical OKR structures — from board-level strategic objectives down to business unit, department, and individual contributor key results. Each level of the hierarchy has visibility appropriate to its role: executive leadership sees the full portfolio; department heads see their unit's OKRs and cross-functional dependencies; team members see and update their own key results. Progress rolls up automatically from team to department to executive view — eliminating the quarterly "OKR update collection" process that most organizations dread. AI-assisted insights flag at-risk OKRs and surface patterns across the portfolio so leadership can intervene before a missed objective becomes a missed quarter.
Is CGC suitable for our PMO and project governance needs?
Yes. CGC includes a full project governance layer — initiative tracking, milestone management, budget oversight, resource allocation, and structured reporting for your PMO. Unlike standalone project management tools, CGC connects project execution directly to the strategic objectives it's meant to serve. Your PMO can see which projects are on track, which are at risk, and whether their collective progress is moving the needle on the organization's OKRs — all in one dashboard. For organizations with mature PMO practices, CGC integrates with Microsoft Project Online and Azure DevOps to incorporate existing project data into the governance framework.
What does implementation look like, and how long does it take?
Implementation follows a four-phase approach: Diagnose & Align (governance assessment and framework design), Implement & Integrate (SharePoint provisioning and system integrations), Design & Validate (workflow configuration, KPI setup, UAT), and Execute & Optimize (go-live with 90-day hypercare). For Marketplace deployments with standard configuration, a basic environment can be live in 2–4 weeks. Enterprise implementations with custom workflows, HRIS integration, and multi-department rollouts typically run 8–14 weeks. Our digital transformation team provides a detailed timeline estimate after a one-hour scoping call.
How is CGC priced, and is it available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace?
CGC is available through three procurement pathways. The Microsoft Azure Marketplace option allows you to purchase directly through your Azure subscription — qualifying for Microsoft MACC commitments and using your existing Azure billing. Direct licensing is available for enterprise agreements with custom pricing based on user count and modules. White-Glove implementation is a scoped engagement that includes platform licensing plus dedicated implementation services. For a pricing estimate tailored to your organization's size and requirements, speak to our team — we'll scope the right model in a single discovery call.
