SAP GRC Implementation Upgrade and Support
The SAP GRC product range has grown significantly over the last two decades, and is now grouped inside several categories:
SAP Access Control can help you automatically detect, remediate and ultimately prevent access risk violations, regardless of industry or business size.
SAP Process Control improves the effectiveness of your internal control processes across SAP and non-SAP systems, and tightly align them with risk prevention and efficiency requirements.
SAP Risk Management helps identify and assess risks and opportunities, determine a response strategy, and monitor progress
SAP Audit Management leverages the power of the SAP HANA in-memory database, integrate with other governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions, and align internal audit with overall business goals.
SAP Netweaver Identity Management tool (IdM) allows an organisation to fully manage user access to both SAP and Non-SAP systems across their IT landscape. The IdM tool integrates with Access Controls processes and workflows to check for compliance issues, risk analysis, segregation of duties conflicts and risk mitigation connected with the access roles assigned to user accounts.
APTI can support your organisation through the process of product evaluation via product demonstrations, helping you to build a roadmap and business case through to procurement of GRC software licensing, hosting, implementation, support, managed services and product content – a true “one stop” and cost-effective shop.

GRC Upgrade
SAP’s Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions typically release major version updates every 2-3 years, and support packs approximately every quarter.
Why are support packs important?
Support packs include enhancements (including new solution functionality), bug fixes, corrections, and critical security updates – to keep your data safe, you need to be up to date with support packs.
“To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the question.”
The key to answer this is to understand the main changes and improvements in the newer version of SAP GRC 12.0 and what values it will provide to your organization. Mainstream maintenance for v10.x will end in December 2020 and many are considering a move to v12.0 in the near future.
How long does an upgrade take?
APTI Solutions has developed low-cost, rapid deployments which typically take 20-25 days to complete.
What can be included with the Upgrade?
- Migrate GRC from a SAP ECC6.0 platform to a HANA cloud platform environment.
- Migrate existing GRC data and enabled Fiori tile functionality to strategically replace the NetWeaver Business Client.
- Migrate the existing Access Control ruleset, risk owners and workflows to the new version of GRC.
- Integrate Access Control with Ariba to conduct Segregation of Duty checks across ECC 6.0 and Ariba
- Enable native SuccessFactors integration and access the sample SuccessFactors Risk Analysis ruleset
