Mitigating Control Lifecycle

$

0

A high amount of time during a SAP GRC project will be spent on defining processes and responsibilities. My suggestion is to think in lifecycles for getting a better understanding of the processes and who is taking over the responsibilty.

 

In this post I would like to clarify the lifecycle of Mitigating Controls. I have grouped them into four steps Create, Change, Delete and Review. Please see for each step expected Tasks and who is involved.
