Managing Risk and Compliance 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.
Managing risk is no longer an afterthought for
organizations. Instead, it must be at the forefront for achieving organizational goals.
Organizations need the proper resources, processes, and technology to monitor and manage
risk. They must also minimize the duration and
impact of any events that do occur.

Unified and Comprehensive Approach

Unified Approach
Protecting Value
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 Innovations
Risk and compliance challenges are constantly
increasing and changing. However, far too
many organizations continue to approach these
challenges with manual and disconnected
responses.
Best-Run Finance
As they identify new requirements and risks,

most organizations develop new and unique
sets of responses and controls across organizational 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 compliance help organizations to leverage best
practices with scalable, enterprise solutions.
These enable repeatable, automated, and
unified responses.

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.
Using manual processes and spreadsheets
to manage access risk is not only resource
intensive and time consuming. Its 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.
