SAP governance, risk, and compliance for SAP-centric organizations
SAP GRC is a governance, risk, and compliance solution designed for organizations using SAP ERP systems, providing native integration with SAP financial, procurement, and HR processes. The suite covers Access Control for managing segregation of duties and user access in SAP systems, Process Control for continuous monitoring of financial controls, Risk Management for enterprise risk assessment and reporting, and Global Trade Services for trade compliance. For SAP-centric organizations, the native integration provides significant advantages—SOD violations are identified within actual SAP transactions, and financial control testing uses real SAP data without extraction. Access Control's automated provisioning and access request workflows prevent unauthorized access at the source system level. Process Control's continuous control monitoring detects exceptions in SAP financial transactions automatically, reducing the need for manual testing. Risk Management connects operational risk data to SAP financial planning processes. SAP's Audit Management tool provides workpaper management and issue tracking. The platform's deep SAP integration makes it the default choice for large SAP customers with complex GRC requirements. However, implementation complexity is significant—SAP GRC projects typically require months of configuration and specialist consultants. Organizations without deep SAP expertise should carefully evaluate implementation requirements. SAP GRC is most cost-effective for organizations already managing multiple SAP licenses as it can leverage existing infrastructure.
