Howdy, James


I would like to know, could you share to us a brief strategy on how to perform scheduled and automated user access/SoD reviews using GRC10 with the following conditions:


  1. Your client reside in multilocation and each location could have different organization structure. CMIIW, can we use multiple ruleset for this?
  2. Your client's IT environment still runs old application which doesn't have role management feature, could it be possible to perform scheduled and automated user access/SoD reviews using GRC10


Thank you and looking forward to hearing your opinion.


 


Cheers,


Marko S

Welcome to today's forum on Access Control and User Access Reviews (UARs).


This is a great opportunity to ask James Roeske your questions on developing scheduled User Access Reviews to protect your SAP systems, based on his extensive experience with SAP BusinessObjects Access Control. James is a compliance expert, a featured speaker at our GRC conferences, and President at Savera Systems.


James, thank you for joining us today!

James - Are automated user access reviews performed at the role level only?  Also - what modules of GRC do you need to have installed?

Is there a technical limitation for performing UARs across mixed landscape (ABAP vs Java -- i.e. SRM portal, GTS ABAP, BPC)?  And if not, where would we find documentation to perform a mixed landscape review?

James, a question that came up during one of your recent presentations, was how long does it typically take to set up and implement an automated UAR? Can you provide some insight into this?

Hello Marko,


Thank you for the question.  Unfortunately I have not had a customer implement UAR in GRC 10 up to this date.  As a result I will be addressing the configuration details about 5.3 in this session and the general concept of performing User Access Reviews within Access Controls.


But, I'm in the process of updating my UAR presentation material to include detailed GRC 10 insight.  I hope to be presenting on this topic and other GRC 10 related content at the GRC 2012 conference.  Hope to see you there.

James,


Do you have any tips to perform UAR's at org level ? Would his be something that makes sense to do ?


We are also investigationg setting up our mitigating controls at org level - is this activity very high maintenance ongoing ?


Thanks in advance,

Hello James,


What is the best way to approach user access reviews when you do not have GRC or any other software designed for this purpose.   Thanks,  


Mary
