SAP Risk Management

 

Why SAP Risk Management?

With risk management there can be a tendency to create enormous lists of risks across all areas of the business. The volume and sheer complexity of risk management makes it impossible to sustain and much of it is irrelevant. Focusing on value and value drivers means focusing on the core activities and processes of the business.

Risk managers spend a significant amount of time planning. The single most important criteria in planning is identifying the risks that impact on value and business performance. This may mean that risk management focuses on only a small portion of the business, but it should be the portion of the business where risk managers can contribute the most.

SAP Risk Management provides a comprehensive solution for managing risks and driving collaboration and consistency across the organisation.

Winterhawk Insight

Winterhawk SAP

Steve Hewison, CEO

 

 

“Zero Trust Security is a now commonly used phrase referring to organisations providing secure access to corporate resources via continuous assessments of polices and controls. SAP Risk Management does what it says on the tin – it provides a central platform to assess and document operational risk. Clients ask us how to make a business case for purchasing it.

In answer, what we’ve seen, and documented in case studies, is that quantifiable benefits are derived by eliminating costly duplication of control assessments and reducing very manual human effort required in control assessment (where Robotic Process Automation (RPA), for example, can be leveraged). Further benefits come from increased reporting accountability, enhanced coordination and significantly enhancing collaboration across business functions; we’ve also seen greater user satisfaction generating buy-in and with that, timely completion of assessments (less follow ups).”
