How Does SAP GRC Protect Your Business?
Businesses are increasingly discovering that a reactive approach to data security is not sufficient. As GDPR enforcement rises, businesses are paying the price for their lax security measures.
A proactive SAP GRC helps you to identify risks within your business’s security systems. It targets sources of vulnerability before they can be exploited. Finally, SAP GRC can help you put in place the safeguards needed to minimize and eliminate existing security risks.
Let’s take a look at 3 of the most important modules that will help protect your organization.
GRC Process Control
SAP GRC Process Control offers companies a broad overview of their business processes. It allows them to initiate automatic and manual controls for business processes.

GRC Process Control also provide full flexibility, so controls may be tightened or loosened as needed.
GRC Access Control
Data access controls are key to remaining compliant with data protection regulations. Access controlsensure employees are provided authorizations only for the tasks they need to perform. Businesses can implement full segregation to limit the potential for employee theft, manipulation, or deletion of critical data.
SAP utilizes access control to allow companies to decidewhich employees should have access based on a pre-defined status, set by the company.This is one of the foundations of data protection. Every regulatory framework in the world advises businesses to never allow all employees to have access to everything.
GRC access control also provides for full user monitoring and tracking in real-time. This turns a reactive security policy into a proactive security policy.
GRC Risk Management
SAP’s dedicated risk management control monitors business deals to find potential legal and/or financial risks.
Through identifying risks early, decision-makers can implement all the necessary safeguards to minimize and eliminate potential sources of vulnerability.
