MITIGATION CONTROL CREATION

Hi
I am Rakesh, my question is while creating a mitigation
control, in the reports tab there is a field called action.what is
this action and what is the use of it?
thanks in advance for the reply

I think this field was meant as a reference as to what report/transaction you run to mitigate the risk. Based on this and the frequence you put in, the system could check if the monitor actually ran the transactions required for performing the mitigating control.
But, as Amol is saying, this is free text, and you can put whatever you want in there - however, if you put a transaction code (action in GRC speak) it will look up the tranaction text
Note that this is based purely on what I think I remember, so don't go selling this as a feature

Mitigating Control creation and application in SAP GRC 10

Hi Expert,
We have SAP GRC Access Control 10 being implemenmted for our client. While trying to create Mitigating Control, we just realized that Before creating mitigating controls you need to create a Root Org entry, this replaces the Business Units in previous AC versions which is visible only when we activate the GRC-PC Application.
My queries are:
1. Is it that Mitigation control can only be created if PC is enable.
2. What about Licencing if GRC-PC Application is used for Mitigating Control Creation.
Thanking you i advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Abhimanu Kumar Singh

HI,
Thank you for the response, I just checked and could find that I can create Mitigating control without PC application. It is just that PC relevant fields are not displayed.
However can anybody answer as to what happens if I use PC to create Mitigating Control, Do I have to purchase the license for SAP GRC PC or it is ok for shared resources.
Thanks again.
Thanks & Regards,
Abhimanu Kumar Singh

GRC AC V10 - Mitigation Control Approval Workflow

Hi guys,
can me explain somebody the difference between the processID SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_ASGN und SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_MAINT?
And as well can somebody provide me the initiator rule ID for both so that we can have a detailed look into the brfplus rule.
We only want to mitigate controls via an controlowner approval and not a process for the creation of new controls.
That means an asisgnment approval workflow for mitigation controls.
Thanks a lot.

Hello Alexa,
Did you ever employ SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_ASGN ? Were you able to identify the included agents ?
I am interested in identifying approvers for mitigating controls who can be included in the workflow but are not risk owners. Would you have any suggestions for this type of agent ?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

Mitigation Control Migration From 53. to GRC10

Hello,
Can you please let me know where do I find a templete for downloading Mitigation Controls from 5.3 and how do I upload them in GRC 10?
An early reply would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
Can you share how you migrated the mitigation controls?
While migration of the mitigation controls
I get an error "Creation of object ID 00000000 is not allowed"
I have different buisness processes for risks/functions and the mitigations...Is it something to do with that? or shoudl i create the business processes in GRC 10 before migration?
I am pretty much stuck here...any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Raghav

Mitigation control usage in PC 10

Hi Experts,
I am able to create Mitigation control under the PC of GRC 10. The same can be seen under the Mitigation control tab of AC. However, I am unable to see the mitigation controls that are designed under AC for assignment in PC.
Is there any configuration that has to be done to connect both AC and PC?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Suma

Hello Adreas,
Thanks for the reply.
As you mentioned i have maintained the organization under Setup --> Organizations. However, I am still unable to see Mitigation controls under the subprocess.
I see that I can create a new mitigation control when I navigate through Master data>select specific organization code> select the subprocess-->add new control. This tab shows the creation of new Mitigation control. However, it does not diplay the mitigation controls that were created under AC.
Am I missing something? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Suma

We are not mitigating users now. Only roles are getting mitigated and hence we have not provided any values to the MIT USER table.
Thanks and Best Regard,
Srihari.K

Dear Varun,
Thanks for your reply. It helped me a lot. But however i am facing the following issue while uploading the mitigation controls
After exporting the mitigation file from RAR, we opened the text file in a spreadsheet format and added few lines to the file and saved in the same text format or in UTF-8 format also
After uploading the same into RAR again after changes we are facing similar errors mentioned in above query.
But when we add lines directly in the wordpad and upload the file then it is successful.
We have to add so many mitigation controls and roles to be assigned for which excel would be easy way to dump.
Is there anything wrong we are doing here in editing and converting the files.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Srihari.K

Control creation of PR from project before release

Dear All,
Can we make settings such as before releasing the project system should not allow us to create PR/PO ?
regds,
CB

Hi
As mentioned by Ahmed,
You can control creation of PR for particular time period by using WBS User status Profile configuration or Locking all account assignment data.
Else you can use Res/PR key as From Release and needs to be defined in N/W Profile
Also you use FM for status change for Activity

Detect obsolete mitigating control assignments?

Hello,
What report/s would you use to detect obsolete mitigating control assignments?
The scenario is: A user has been assigned a mitigating control, let's say during the CUP workflow, to mitigate a certain risk that came with a certain role. Later, that role is removed from the user. Now the user is in the scope of a mitigating control. However, the user is not even subject to the risk in question anymore.
Which way (periodically?) could you detect these cases and clean up the mitigating control assignments?
Thanks and regards
Patrick

Hey,
My experience of cleaning up controls has not been very straight forward.
I have had to perform various risk analysis reports and look up a list of user accounts that have been marked as "Expired" etc.
It can be slightly more difficult if, like many organisations, you decide to assign a control with a infinite validity period (i.e. 12.12.9999).
The Business and Internal Control team need to be very proactive about regularly monitoring the controls and reviewing the assignments. This is one reason why I strongly recommend that controls are only assigned for a set period (i.e. 365 days/1 year), so a compulsory review takes place by the control owners/business on a regular basis. This makes the controls much more affective, robust and fit for purpose.
Happy to hear other's opinions and ideas.

Hello Peggy,
Did you recently upgraded your NW Java Support package? If yes, then kindly check the SAP Note "1417651 - Unable to retrieve connector & application configuration"
The problem is coming due to change in NW encryption algorithm and impacted GRC as well. This is fixed in SP10 of GRC.

Workaround for non-SAP mitigating control reminders

Dear all,
Our business users would like to document mitigating controls in RAR 5.3 regardless of whether they are connected with an SAP report. They would also like to receive email reminders for those controls.
Unfortunately, the frequency of the control can only be defined per connected SAP report and reminders will only be sent for controls if the SAP report has not been executed.
Have you been exposed with a similar requirement? It seems like a natural thing to ask from a business perspective. RAR 5.3, however, is not designed in that way.
Have you come up with any feasible workarounds for this?
My current approach would be to create a dummy Z-report per SAP system (such as Z_MANUAL_MITCTRL) that control monitors have to call once to confirm the execution of their control.
Cheers and best regards
Patrick

Hello,
Regarding your question, in fact this is dependant on how your UME (User Management Engine) is configured on your WAS (Web Application Server). If the UME is connected to your R/3 back-end then the user need to have a R/3 account to connect to CC, otherwise if your UME is "independant" then you just need to create an account in the UME.

Jérôme.

Bringing mitigating controls from PC to AC in GRC 10.0

Hi ,
I am going through remediation process in GRC 10.0, However there are no mitigation controls setup in AC.
my client is asking me to copy all the mitigating controls from PC to AC.
Is this possible ? if yes, What will be the process ?
Thank you.

Hi Sri,
you can achieve by downloading and uploading the mitigations.
Go to SE38 and use the following program GRAC_DOWNLOAD_MIT_ASSIGNMENTS to download the file and make necessary changes to it and upload the file by using the following program GRAC_UPLOAD_MIT_ASSIGNMENTS.
and put the active column in the file as X.

Mass maintenance of Mitigation controls in GRC 10.0

Dear All,
How to do mass maintenance of mitigation in ARA of GRC 10.0. We successfully migrated the mitigation controls from 5.3 to 10.0. I need to change the monitors for many user conflicts and also add new user conflict mitigation controls. Is it possible to do a mass changes in GRC 10.0 as there is no upload functionality for mitigation controls

CUP-5.3-SP13-Mitigation Controls by rol/users

Hi all!
Since RAR consider mitigations contros both by rol and users, If I have the role ZROL1 mitigated for the ID risk P001* then, would be able CUP to consider this mitigation control even when CUP is managing users?
I mean, if ZROL1 has a mitigation control, would appear at the request the ID risk whenever I add this role to a user?
Many thanks in advance! any help would be welcomed.
Margarita.

Hi Margarita,
If you want it will consider the role level mitigation controls. So in the request risk violation will not be shown.
For this u need check the option, consider mitigation control in CUP. Configuration-> Risk anlsysis.
Also in RAR following things needs to be done.
RAR Configuration->Risk analysis-> Defaults values.
Exclude mitigated Risk as yes.
RAR Configuration-> Risk Analysis ->Additional options
Include Role/Profile Mitigating Controls in User Analysis as yes.
If above values are defined as No. than Risk Voilation will be shown in the request.
Kind Regards,
Srinivasan

CUP - Mitigation Controls in a Detour Workflow

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with a detour workflow in CUP.
I choose the detour condition: "SoD violation".
So in theory, if there is no conflicts the workflow don't take the detour path.
We supposed that the user request has an SoD conflict.
In the stage(s) before the detour, if we assign a mitigation control that mitigate the risk, the detour is still taken.
I think the workflow swich systematically to the detour if the request had a conflict, even if the risks were deleted by an Mitigation Controls assignment.
Does anyone have a solution to avoid the detour path if we mitigate the risks?
Thank you in advance!!

Ben,
This is how CUP works. There is no configuration which allows you to ignore SOD violaton even if there is mitigation. You will have to live with this for now.

Alpesh
