Managing Risk and Compliance

Managing risk is no longer an afterthought for

organizations. Instead, it must be at the fore-

front for achieving organizational goals.

Organizations need the proper resources, pro-

cesses, and technology to monitor and manage

risk. They must also minimize the duration and

impact of any events that do occur.

Types of risk include:

• Enterprise-based or strategic risk –

Typically 10 to 20 risks managed at this

level.

• Business process–based or operational

risk – For example, risks associated with

procure-to-pay processes or health and safety.

Hundreds of risks managed at this level.

• Noncompliance or regulatory risk –

Including import and export trade

compliance, doing business with restricted or

denied parties, or adherence to other

industry-specific regulations.

• Improper employee or third-party

behavior risk – Including violation of codes

of conduct, internal fraud as a result of

excessive access granted to transactional

systems, collusion, or bribery and corruption.

• Nonsustainable business practice risk –

Resulting in damage to an organization’s

brand and reputation.

Today, organizations are growing at an unprecedented rate. They are not only

expanding into multiple markets, but also entering new verticals. While this

expansion creates significant opportunity, it also entails tremendous risk. With

highly regulated markets and complex compliance requirements – and an increase

in both internal and external threats to the organization – stakeholders are

demanding greater transparency and more effective management practices.

Risk and compliance challenges are constantly

increasing and changing. However, far too

many organizations continue to approach these

challenges with manual and disconnected

responses.

As they identify new requirements and risks,

most organizations develop new and unique

sets of responses and controls across organi-

zational units. They do this instead of building

on existing compliance and risk programs and

processes.

This leads to duplication of effort and an inability

to establish a holistic view of risk exposure.

As a result, many organizations have a poor

understanding of their true compliance status.

Furthermore, managing these responses and

control efforts through disparate tools does not

enable synergies, automation, or the leveraging

of existing frameworks.

SAP solutions for governance, risk, and com-

pliance help organizations to leverage best

practices with scalable, enterprise solutions.

These enable repeatable, automated, and

unified responses.

Unified and Comprehensive Approach

Driven by the need for greater predictability, greater efficiency, and reduced effort,

organizations require integrated solutions and a unified, comprehensive approach

to managing risk and compliance. Manual, ad hoc, or individualized responses are

no longer adequate. Information and responses cannot be dated or reactive, but

must be relevant and timely.

SAP solutions for GRC continue to benefit from

technology innovations such as the SAP HANA

platform. This allows GRC professionals to

monitor high data volumes from various sources

through solutions such as the SAP Access

Control Role Analytics and SAP Fraud Man-

agement analytic applications. This enables

exception alerts and supports real-time decision

making.

Analytics solutions from SAP enable world-

class reporting to cut the cost and effort of

audits and allow organizations to visualize the

status of risk exposure and compliance. The

solutions also report on social, environmental,

and economic performance and improvements.

Mobile apps from SAP give GRC professionals

and others continuous access to reporting

and alerts, new-user access requests, and

sanctioned-party list screening. This helps

ensure a fast response, improves decision

making, and reduces risk.

Cloud-based software, such as the SAP

Carbon Impact OnDemand solution, enables

fast, low-risk deployment. It minimizes the IT

footprint while helping to ensure long-term

scalability and flexibility along with technology

and process integration.

SAP Innovations

SAP solutions for governance, risk, and compliance leverage the latest technology

innovations. The software enables a rapid response where attention

is required, real-time visibility into the status of responses and controls, and

automated monitoring with real-time alerts. Anywhere access allows staff to

respond quickly, whatever their location. Meanwhile, highly scalable yet flexible

deployment options empower risk and compliance managers enterprise-wide.

Using manual processes and spreadsheets

to manage access risk is not only resource

intensive and time consuming. It’s also costly

and can expose organizations to unnecessary

risk.

With SAP Access Control, organizations can

move beyond manual processes for managing

access risk. The application supports the

management of segregation of duties, critical

and sensitive access, and superuser access.

It also automates the compliant provisioning of

users, periodic user and role certifications, and

the design and maintenance of compliant roles.

And because access risk is managed on an

exception basis, IT administrators can focus

their time and resources on value-adding

initiatives.

With the SAP Access Control application,

organizations can automate key

processes to detect, remediate, and

prevent access violations, streamline

user provisioning, and centralize role

management. This helps reduce the

cost of access management, audit,

and ongoing compliance activities and

minimize the risk of internal fraud.

resources required. The application tests for

segregation-of-duty and critical-access violations

and enforces the assignment of mitigating

controls prior to approval.

Organizations can reduce costs by:

• Maintaining a comprehensive audit trail of

user and role management activities

• Centrally storing all logs and approvals,

eliminating the need to search repositories

to prove compliance during an audit

• Automating compliance reviews of user

access, role authorizations, risk violations,

and control assignments

• Delivering a closed-loop process for

managing emergency access

• Automating the process of requesting,

approving, and assigning access

• Providing continued visibility of the access

risk management process with multiple

reporting options

With SAP Access Control, organizations

can move beyond manual processes for

managing access governance activities.

And because access risk is managed

on an exception basis, IT administrators

can focus their time and resources on

Enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance



With SAP solutions for governance, risk, and

compliance, users can define business value

or revenue drivers in terms of organizational

and geographic factors, processes, and related

strategic initiatives. They can also identify and

assess enterprise risk in the context of the

impact on value or revenue drivers.

Organizations can focus audit, compliance,

control, and policy management on areas of

critical value, pinpointing revenue-adding

activities. They can then model business

outcomes with scenario analysis and

simulations to predict patterns and efficiently

manage responses.

Users gain a 360-degree view of risk, control,

and compliance management across all

business systems. Organizations can manage

residual risk by embedding policies and con-

trols into business processes. They can also

define a fraud protection program through

simulation and calibration.

Collaborative surveys and assessments help

ensure that all risks are identified and assessed

by business and subject matter experts and

that controls are tested. Issue management

functionality then enables users to make effective

action plans and assign accountabilities.
