ISO 19650 and SharePoint: Making Your Project Data Room Compliant

Introduction

In today’s construction and real estate ecosystem, information is as critical as bricks and steel. Projects are becoming more complex, many stakeholders are remote, and expectations for precision, traceability, and accountability are rising. That’s why ISO 19650 is fast becoming a mandatory requirement in many contracts and public procurements.

Yet many firms already have Microsoft 365 and SharePoint in place — often under-utilized for project document control. The question is:
Can SharePoint serve as a fully ISO 19650-compliant Common Data Environment (CDE)?

Leveraging SharePoint as a Common Data Environment (CDE) for Large Construction Projects

Large-scale construction projects often grapple with fragmented data, misaligned communications, and inefficient workflows. A Common Data Environment (CDE) addresses these challenges by providing a centralized platform to manage, collaborate on, and leverage critical project data throughout a project’s lifecycle. SharePoint, deeply integrated within Microsoft 365, emerges as a powerful, secure, and scalable solution ideal for managing complex construction data.

Why Choose SharePoint as Your CDE?

1. Data Sovereignty and Security

SharePoint ensures your project data stays securely within your own Microsoft environment, enhancing data sovereignty and compliance. This reduces dependency on external third-party cloud solutions, ensuring maximum data control and security.
