SAS Upgrades GRC Suite
SAS (news, site) has upgraded its GRC suite with a number of new features, including one corporate policy repository, a faster one-stop audit system and an updated GRC program view.
The revised policy management capability includes configurable workflows, helping users create and maintain one corporate policy repository. Updated on changes to laws and regulations, the repository saves time previously spent researching regulatory changes and their impact.
The one system for planning and reporting on audits also cuts the time spent on consolidating multiple files and sources. Continuous auditing capabilities enables efficient testing of disparate data.
Auditors can create projects together online to address issues and plans using streamlining capabilities such as task notifications and real-time responses.
The other major upgrade is the 360-degree view of an enteprise's GRC program variables, such as risk, business objectives, controls, issues, loss events, action plans, contracts and policies, with one mouse click. The upgrade was launched at the SAS Global Forum in Las Vegas.
