SAP Process Control automates compliance initiatives
Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
SAP Process Control helps to manage the end to end SOX compliance process and assist with monitoring of automated and configurable controls in the SAP application environment. The SOX compliance process includes a inventory of the SOX controls, performance of controls, test of effectiveness of the controls, and reporting on key gaps and issues with the control testing process.
Pros
- Native connection to SAP applications
- Automated monitoring process of SAP applications
- Workflow capabilities for control testing
Cons
- Integrated attachments functionality (i.e., edit Word/Excel documents within SAP PC, rather than having to download the files locally)
- More flexible dashboarding capabilities
- Better out of the box reporting
- No out of the box content for Controls, Regulations
Likelihood to Recommend
SAP Process Control is well suited for managing the end to end lifecycle of controls across different regulations. When managing a risk and controls framework it is better suited for public companies that have regulation requirements. The tool does not offer good capabilities for managing robust IT regulations. It would be good if there's improvement to the tool so it can be used to manage IT assets.
