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.

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.

Unified and Comprehensive Approach

Managing Risk and Compliance Unified Approach Protecting Value 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. 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.

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.

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.
