SAS Enterprise GRC 5.1

The user interface has been redesigned. This includes replacement of tabs and subtabs with customizable menus, and improvements to navigation for mobile devices. In addition, the home page has been redesigned to allow for more customization, and the task list is now a table that can be filtered. In addition, the home page can now include SAS BI Dashboard elements.

SAS Enterprise GRC now supports the use of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 databases.

A number of new workflow templates have been added for this release, including the integration of incident management with SAS Workflow Studio. In addition, workflow templates have been created for managing risks, controls, and potential impacts.

SAS Enterprise GRC 5.1 has improved out-of-the-box integration with SAS BI Dashboard and SAS Information Map Studio for reporting.

SAS Enterprise GRC now enables the cataloging of potential future impacts. Users can predict and enter potential impacts for risks and scenarios before a loss event occurs.

A new business object called a scenario topic can now be created. Scenario topics enable you to identify areas or topics that can be covered for performing scenario analysis.

Action plans can be created independently of issues. This allows for more operational flexibility. For example, an action plan could be created to respond to incidents or KRIs without requiring you to create an issue.
