Winterhawk Insights

“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).”
