# Interoperable functions
<a name="interoperable-functions"></a>

 The eight management and governance functions work together and interoperate to reduce complexity. Outputs from these functions are used to inform or integrate with other functions. 

 For controls, this includes: 
+  Inspect and protect out of band **Networking connectivity** changes. 
+  Access permissions and controls federated with your **Identity management** provider. 
+  Controls findings that initiate campaigns and playbooks in **Security management** operations. 
+  Integrated change, provisioning, and remediation capabilities with service level objectives for each control for your **Service management** framework. 
+  **Monitoring and observability** defined for both aggregated and granular views of each control and guardrail. 
+  Financial and process controls aligned to your **Cloud Financial Management** best practices. 
+  Infrastructure as code templates for your guardrails that are **Sourced** and **distributed** in a hub and spoke pattern for your multi-account strategy.
