GRC Builder ARM (Access Risk Management)
by Porttus
Cloud-based identity governance with Entra ID integration, SoD risk control, and compliance
The GRC Builder ARM solution, developed by Porttus, is a powerful cloud-based platform for managing access and risk in both SAP and non-SAP environments. It supports both single-tenant and multi-tenant architectures, and can also be deployed on-premises for organizations that require full control over the solution.
Designed by GRC and Security experts with deep knowledge of SAP’s authorization architecture, GRC Builder stands out as a highly effective alternative to SAP GRC Access Control and SAP Identity Access Governance (IAG) — offering superior cost-effectiveness and a modern, user-friendly interface that enhances the overall user experience.
WITH A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF FEATURES, GRC BUILDER DELIVERS:
- Real-time Segregation of Duties (SoD) risk analysis.
- Risk simulation before access is granted.
- Emergency access management with full workflows and audit trails.
- Access impact analysis to evaluate permissions and associated risks prior to approval.
- Automated access review and recertification processes.
- Customizable SoD rule management, adaptable to various organizational structures.
- Out-of-the-box Risk Matrices for multiple ERP systems: SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, TOTVS, Oracle, and more.
- Pre-built compensating control templates.
- Executive dashboards for continuous risk and access monitoring.
- Configurable workflows for access request approvals and tracking (Access Governance).
- A Deciding factor feature, offering a gamified visual tool to illustrate risk violations vs. broken rules.
GRC Builder helps organizations comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and implement COSO framework best practices, especially in internal controls related to access governance and continuous monitoring of SoD risks — ensuring end-to-end governance and audit readiness.
Whether deployed in the cloud or on-premises, GRC Builder provides unmatched flexibility, control, and user experience. It empowers business and audit teams with autonomy and real-time visibility over access and risks across SAP and non-SAP systems, making it the ideal solution for companies seeking compliance, efficiency, and governance with reduced complexity and cost.
GRC Builder features native integration with Microsoft Entra ID, enabling the implementation of a full Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) process, where the identity lifecycle runs in parallel with Segregation of Duties (SoD) risk monitoring. Additionally, Porttus has developed a customized interface for Microsoft Entra approvers, ensuring a consistent look and feel when approving both identity requests and SoD risk validations.
