ProWare Solutions GmbH’s Office VBA Security & Compliance product range is a collection of components and solutions that adds important features to Microsoft Office in the use of VBA macros. Many companies use VBA macros in Microsoft Office to provide easy work facilitation for users. But VBA is also still used for business-critical applications. Microsoft’s further development of VBA is also discontinued.

New office applications such as the Office Mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone, as well as the online versions (Office Online apps) no longer support VBA. However, many companies have lack transparency about the VBA macros in use before possible migration. The Office Telemetry tool provided by Microsoft does not analyze VBA macros. Nor does Microsoft provide effective support to limit new VBA macros without completely stopping them, or to make the use of existing VBA macros safer.

This is where Office VBA Security & Compliance comes in. A collection of components and solutions address Microsoft Office shortfalls in the areas described and add new features.

The table below describes the Microsoft Office applications supported by Office VBA Security & Compliance. Please note that most of our components do not require Microsoft Office installation.

You can purchase any package we offer with or without an option to sign office files with a digital signature. If you purchase this option, all components allow you to add, review, and remove digital signatures to VBA projects. For example, you can use this to add a new signature to a large number of Office documents or to integrate the signing of documents into your own portal.

In addition to the simple standard algorithm from Microsoft Office (MD5), you can also apply the much safer SHA256 (from Office 2016). All signatures can be provided with a counter signature.
