What is SAP GRC?
SAP GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) is a set of solutions and products that help you manage enterprise resources in a way that minimizes risk, builds trust, and lowers compliance costs. Products like SAP Risk Management, SAP Process Control, and SAP Audit Management let you automate GRC activities, improve control and visibility, monitor risks and enforce controls, and coordinate GRC through a unified technology platform.
How the Future of SAP GRC looks like – DataNub Perspective –
With the recent information published via sap note – 3326989 its clear and evident there will be a new version of on-premises SAP GRC system coming on the way. Below are some of our thoughts on the road map we envision as a partner / a subject matter expert.
On Premise Application –
- The existing version of SAP GRC 12.0 will be upgraded with HANA adaptive, richer UI in application & reporting, more detailed analytics using SAP SAC will be part of next big release of SAP GRC planned Q1-2026.
- We believe there won’t be any much functionality changes.
Cloud Application –
While SAP road map on Cloud first for all the applications is full swing, even the same goes in SAP GRC as well. Below are the products which we can see/ compared to the on-premises application of GRC.
- SAP IAG – Equivalent of SAP GRC Access controls – supports provisioning for both on premise and cloud application.
- SAP Financial compliance – equivalent to process control, risk management, business integrity and partner screen. – supporting control monitoring and risk mitigation for both on premise and cloud application.
