SharePoint - OpenText Magellan Risk Guard Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between SharePoint and OpenText Magellan Risk Guard

1. Automated risk scanning of SharePoint document libraries

SharePoint can serve as the primary repository for policies, contracts, HR files, and operational documents, while OpenText Magellan Risk Guard continuously scans those libraries for sensitive, noncompliant, or problematic content. This helps compliance teams identify issues such as personal data exposure, restricted terms, or inappropriate language before documents are broadly shared.

• Data flow: SharePoint to OpenText Magellan Risk Guard
• Business value: Reduces regulatory exposure and improves document governance across enterprise content stores
• Typical users: Compliance, legal, records management, and SharePoint administrators

2. Risk review workflow for newly uploaded content

When users upload new files to SharePoint, OpenText Magellan Risk Guard can analyze the content and flag items that require review before publication or external sharing. Documents with elevated risk can be routed to compliance or legal teams for approval, remediation, or rejection, helping organizations enforce policy without slowing collaboration unnecessarily.

• Data flow: SharePoint to OpenText Magellan Risk Guard to SharePoint
• Business value: Creates a controlled review process for high-risk content and reduces manual screening effort
• Typical users: Content owners, legal reviewers, compliance officers, and business approvers

3. Sensitive content detection for external collaboration sites

Organizations often use SharePoint to collaborate with vendors, customers, or partners through external-facing sites. OpenText Magellan Risk Guard can inspect files intended for external access and identify confidential, regulated, or reputationally sensitive material before it is shared outside the company. This supports safer partner collaboration and reduces the chance of accidental disclosure.

• Data flow: SharePoint to OpenText Magellan Risk Guard
• Business value: Lowers the risk of data leakage in external collaboration scenarios
• Typical users: Procurement, project teams, legal, and information security

4. Remediation tracking and case management for flagged documents

When OpenText Magellan Risk Guard identifies a risky document in SharePoint, the issue can be logged back into SharePoint as a remediation task, case record, or workflow item. Teams can assign owners, track corrective actions, and maintain an audit trail of decisions, making it easier to demonstrate compliance during internal or external audits.

• Data flow: OpenText Magellan Risk Guard to SharePoint
• Business value: Improves accountability and creates a centralized record of remediation actions
• Typical users: Compliance operations, risk management, audit, and document owners

5. Policy-driven content classification and tagging

OpenText Magellan Risk Guard can analyze unstructured content in SharePoint and return risk indicators that are used to classify documents by sensitivity or compliance status. SharePoint metadata, labels, or tags can then be updated to reflect the risk level, enabling better search, access control, retention, and downstream governance.

• Data flow: OpenText Magellan Risk Guard to SharePoint
• Business value: Strengthens information governance and improves content discoverability and control
• Typical users: Records managers, information governance teams, and SharePoint administrators

6. Monitoring of legacy SharePoint content for regulatory exposure

Many enterprises have large SharePoint archives containing older documents that were created before current compliance standards were in place. OpenText Magellan Risk Guard can scan these repositories to identify outdated contracts, unredacted personal data, or prohibited content, helping organizations prioritize cleanup and reduce long-term risk in legacy content stores.

• Data flow: SharePoint to OpenText Magellan Risk Guard
• Business value: Supports content cleanup initiatives and reduces hidden compliance risk in archives
• Typical users: Records management, legal, compliance, and IT governance teams

7. Compliance dashboards and reporting for SharePoint content risk

Risk findings from OpenText Magellan Risk Guard can be summarized and surfaced in SharePoint dashboards or team sites for compliance and leadership reporting. This gives stakeholders visibility into the volume of flagged documents, remediation status, and risk trends across departments, supporting better oversight and faster decision-making.

• Data flow: OpenText Magellan Risk Guard to SharePoint
• Business value: Provides executive visibility into content risk and remediation progress
• Typical users: Compliance leadership, risk committees, and business unit managers

8. Pre-publication review for intranet and policy content

SharePoint is often used to publish internal policies, procedures, and announcements. OpenText Magellan Risk Guard can review draft content before it is published to the intranet, identifying language that may create legal, privacy, or reputational issues. This helps communications and HR teams publish content with greater confidence and fewer downstream corrections.

• Data flow: SharePoint to OpenText Magellan Risk Guard to SharePoint
• Business value: Improves quality control for internal communications and policy publishing
• Typical users: Corporate communications, HR, legal, and policy owners
