Why GRC in A&D?

There are significant regulations imposed on the A&D industry; whether it is import and export compliance (GTS), technical data controls (TDEC) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR) there are requirements to implement, assess and evidence a level of control and compliance.

When it comes to customs and duty fees, SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) integrates with SAP ERP to help define tax due, necessary documentation to supply and customs regulations to adhere to.

There is increased cyber security threats for A&D companies and to protect the business application layer, SAP Enterprise Threat Detection helps monitor and alert on unauthorised access to business applications, including within the SAP ERP environment.
