Dynamics 365 Sustainability: Streamline ESG internal data collection

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Sustainability now streamlines internal ESG data collection. This feature centralises data gathering, assigns ownership, and applies approval workflows, reducing reliance on manual, untracked communications for sensitive environmental, social, and governance information.

The Impact

Data managers and internal data providers are affected, with a low security risk related to data integrity and access controls.

  • Data Managers: Improved oversight of ESG data collection processes.
  • Internal Data Providers: Structured submission process for sensitive data.
  • Approvers: Formalised review of ESG data submissions.
  • Security Teams: Need to ensure appropriate access controls are applied to ESG data.

The Action

  1. Review Dynamics 365 security roles and permissions for Sustainability module access.
  2. Ensure data owners and approvers have appropriate least-privilege access.
  3. Integrate ESG data access policies with existing information security frameworks.
  4. Monitor audit logs for data collection activities and approval workflows.
