LEARN MORE about how ControlPanel GRC compliance audit software frees you from the repetitive manual tasks that occupy too much time and energy, so you can focus on other important matters.

In an effort to increase productivity in the SAP® environment as well as effectiveness with internal and external auditors, SymSoft created ControlPanel GRC compliance audit software. These SAP GRC solutions reduce audit preparation time, expense and distraction.

Developed from Symmetry’s 14 years of SAP Basis and Security experience, ControlPanel GRC provides SAP Security and Technical administrators what they need most to reduce GRC pain points. The robust toolset is unmatched in its ease of use and flexibility, and provides an elegant solution that expedites the implementation of SOX compliance requirements and reduces manual tasks.

ControlPanel GRC offers functionality that makes risks much easier to mitigate. Remediation options are spelled out in analysis output, and the Usage Analyzer integration assists in remediation by identifying SAP compliance-relevant Transactions that are unused in Roles or assigned Roles that are unused by Users.

Basis administrators have no required involvement to migrate approved Transports as they happen automatically based on the predefined schedule. Also, because Basis implements Approved Job Definition changes, administrators do not have to manually maintain them.

For Security administrators, ControlPanel GRC provides automatic monitoring of Users with SAP_ALL, passwords of delivered Users and more. As reporting capabilities are available to Role Owners, Business Process Owners and Auditors, it reduces administrators’ efforts to prepare for audits or answer simplistic security questions. Likewise, Security administrators receive several other benefits to save them implementation time:

• Automated User provisioning saves time
• Automatic inactive User processing saves time and meets SOX compliance audit requirements by terminating stale accounts
• Security Troubleshooter performs analysis to identify remediation options
• Users are not required to change User Master Records to support emergency access processes
• ControlPanel GRC provides an interface to review Transaction executions by User or Group of Users
• User Measure processes are simplified by automatically applying SAP License Classification to Users

For internal auditors, ControlPanel GRC allows you to embed compliance continuously to reduce the often-intrusive nature of tracking exceptions or authorizations. In turn, the toolset’s flexibility creates real-time analysis, mitigation and reporting through an intuitive GUI that facilitates self-generated queries.

Overall, ControlPanel GRC gives users the lowest Total Cost of Compliance (TCC) through its thoughtful design and functionality. This functionality provides a more robust, integrated toolset to extend GRC beyond SOD, while residing on the existing corporate infrastructure.

From an IT perspective, implementation time can be spent on more innovative processes. From an audit perspective, the second-generation GRC solution gives compliance executives an opportunity to become a real player in business innovation by reducing costs, opening new markets and driving new product lines.
