Governance, Risk and Compliance Solutions from SAP and Novell
Integrated GRC Solutions
Novell and SAP are expanding our existing global partnership to provide customers with an integrated governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solution: the Novell Compliance Management Platform extension for SAP environments. This joint offering allows enterprises to leverage their existing controls infrastructure to validate adherence to business policies, and to gain greater insight into enterprise risk and performance. By marrying security and identity with business processes, enterprises can map what is occurring in the enterprise to business objectives. The result: enterprises stay more secure by monitoring processes to assess risks, setting up controls to contain those risks and taking actions to remediate risks in real time before they negatively impact the business.
Deliver Continuous Compliance
The combination of Novell Compliance Management Platform and SAP BusinessObjects Access Control provides a sustainable and enforceable GRC solution. SAP BusinessObjects GRC solutions define and govern compliance and security related policy for the enterprise. Integrated with Novell's unique capabilities of capturing, automating and monitoring events that affect the policy, SAP and Novell help customers move away from a reactive approach to risk, and instead turn risk into a strategic asset. The integrated solution drives continuous compliance and provides visibility into overall enterprise risk.
Lower Audit Risk
With SAP BusinessObjects Access Control and Novell Compliance Management Platform, enterprises can have confidence that the right controls are automated and in place so only authorized employees have access to sensitive business information when they need it. Having this common set of enforced controls provides transparency to business processes across the enterprise. The joint solution ensures enterprise-wide provisioning, prevents inefficiencies from resource silos and duplication of controls and offers an automated process to discover and remediate high risk business problems.
Greater Value and Lower TCO
Managing risk across the enterprise can be complex, time consuming and costly. To address this, Novell, the leader in identity, security and compliance solutions, and SAP, the leader in business process risk and compliance, are collaborating on the integration of GRC solutions and delivering the next-generation agile enterprise. This integrated solution enables improved performance, simplified risk management, and reduced compliance costs through the strategic combination of business relevance and IT assurance. The resulting compliance and risk management program becomes a powerful strategic business asset for the organization.
