Connect Excel to Drova

Have Sheila AI suggest risks from your register workbook, without retyping a row.

Excel is still where a lot of risk registers and control matrices are kept. Connect it to Drova and Sheila AI, the AI assistant in Drova, can read a workbook, a tab or a range and work with the records it holds.

Questions for your AI assistant, Sheila AI

Once Excel is connected, Sheila AI can answer from it and from what’s already in Drova. Ask the way you’d ask a colleague. Here are a few ideas.

Bring your register across

“Read the risk register workbook and suggest the risks to add to Drova, with their source rows.”

Catch the duplicates

“Which risks in this workbook are already in our Risk Register?”

Suggest score changes

“Which risks' likelihood changed in this quarter's workbook? Suggest the updates.”

Match your categories

“Which categories in this workbook don't match our risk categories?”

Find the gaps

“Which obligations in our obligations workbook have no owner?”

Privacy and control

Sheila AI works inside the access you already have

Your own permissions apply

Each person connects their own Microsoft account. Sheila AI reads only the workbooks you can already open.

Answers come with their sources

Sheila AI points to what she read in Excel. Check it whenever you like.

Nothing in Excel is changed

Sheila AI reads Excel and doesn’t edit it. Her suggestions land in Drova, where you accept the risks, tasks and control updates you want.

Your login stays with Microsoft

You sign in on Microsoft’s own screen. Drova doesn’t see your Microsoft password.

You can switch it off

Disconnect Excel at any time and the access goes with it. Admins can turn it off for everyone.

Common questions about connecting Excel

What does the Excel integration do?

It connects Excel to Drova, so Sheila AI, the AI assistant in Drova, can read a workbook, a tab or a range, and work with the figures and records it holds.

Does Sheila AI change anything in Excel?

No. Today Sheila AI only reads from Excel. In Drova she suggests risks, tasks and control updates, and nothing is added until you accept it.

Whose access does Sheila AI use?

Yours. Each person connects their own Excel account, and Sheila AI reads only what that person can already see. A colleague connects their own account to use it.

How do I connect Excel to Drova?

Sign in to Drova, connect to Excel in Settings and sign in on Microsoft’s own screen to approve access. Your Microsoft password stays with Microsoft.

What permissions does Drova need in Excel?

Microsoft shows you what Drova is asking for before you agree. Drova asks once for everything Sheila AI may need, so you don’t have to reconnect later, and you can turn some of it off on that screen.

Can I switch off the Excel integration?

Yes. You can disconnect Excel at any time, and your admin can switch it off for your whole organisation.
