In today’s complex and highly regulated business environment, organizations face a wide array of risks—from financial fraud and operational inefficiencies to regulatory non-compliance and cybersecurity threats. Managing these risks effectively is critical to safeguarding business continuity, reputation, and compliance with laws and regulations. This is where SAP Risk Management plays a vital role within the broader SAP GRC framework.
SAP Risk Management is a comprehensive solution designed to identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate risks across an organization. It is part of the SAP GRC suite, which helps companies align their IT systems with business strategies while ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations.
SAP Risk Management provides organizations with the tools to proactively handle risks by embedding risk processes into daily business operations. It supports an integrated risk management approach that breaks down silos between departments, offering transparency and control over risks at all levels.

Without effective risk management, organizations can face significant financial losses, legal penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.
Risk Identification and Assessment
SAP Risk Management allows users to capture and document risks in a centralized repository. It supports qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, enabling organizations to evaluate risks based on probability, impact, and trend analysis.
Risk Monitoring and Reporting
The solution provides dashboards and reports that offer real-time visibility into the organization’s risk landscape. Risk owners and management can track risk mitigation status, compliance levels, and emerging risks.
Risk Mitigation and Control Management
It facilitates the creation, assignment, and monitoring of controls and remediation actions to address identified risks. Automated workflows help ensure timely follow-ups and accountability.
Integration with Other SAP GRC Components
SAP Risk Management integrates seamlessly with other modules like Access Control (to manage user access risks), Process Control (to automate control testing), and Audit Management (to facilitate audit planning and execution), enabling a holistic approach to governance and compliance.
SAP Risk Management is a cornerstone of the SAP GRC suite that empowers organizations to systematically identify and manage risks while aligning with compliance mandates. By leveraging SAP Risk Management, businesses can build resilience against uncertainties and foster a culture of risk-aware decision-making—ultimately protecting their assets and sustaining long-term growth.
