SAP Compliance Calibrator Managing Controls

Virsa's Compliance Calibrator is an excellent application for managing SOD and sensitive access in SAP. Compliance Calibrator sits on top of the SAP system, and analyzes user roles for potential conflicts. In real life business scenario, access needs to be given to users even for transactions which have been identified as SODs. SAP Virsa CC has a functionality wherein a user can define mitigating controls to monitor risks identified with user roles, profiles, objects etc.

When a mitigating control is defined in the mitigating control library in SAP CC, it marks the SOD as an identified risk. Once a SOD is marked, same is monitored for a specified period of time. Compliance calibrator generates a list of monitors for the control. These are nothing but report transactions which are used to monitor potential SOD risks. Auditors can identify SOD transaction instantly and take preventive action by disabling user access in case the risk is higher than what the organization chooses to accept. Real time risk monitoring and mitigating controls have make SAP compliance calibrator a success in many organizations. Training auditors in Virsa's compliance calibrator is the key to better compliance and lesser access control related issues.
