smartReview

Access reviews across SAP, AD, S/4 HANA, HCM - focused on SoD risks.

smartReview enables intelligent review of authorizations and access across various IT systems (SAP ERP, S/4 HANA, HCM, Active Directory and others). The focus is on Segregation of Duties (SoD) risks held by users. It supports the decision-maker by showing which accesses were used frequently or rarely - so reviews are based on facts, not guesswork.

auto_awesome Our AI vision (in development)

AI agents in smartReview

3 agents handle the routine work in this module and escalate only what needs a human. Each agent has its own autonomy dial - your governance officer chooses how much the agent does and where humans stay in the loop.

shield_lock

Your governance officer owns the dial

Per agent, per environment, per risk level - tighten or loosen autonomy without redeploying code or filing engineering tickets. The agent never decides its own permission level. Business rules decide, and your team owns the rules.

Agent 1 of 3 . Continuous Access Review

AI Continuous Access Review

Instead of quarterly campaigns, the agent monitors every user-role assignment continuously and surfaces unused permissions in real time. Continuous compliance, no end-of-quarter spike.

Always current, never stale

External auditors see today's state, not a snapshot from last quarter. Findings about unused access drop because issues surface and get resolved as they appear.

Agent 2 of 3 . Auto-Revocation

AI Auto-Revocation

When a role has been unused for too long, the agent runs a revocation playbook: notify, wait for appeals, off-hours scheduling, execute. Every step logged. Reversible.

Least-privilege enforced by code

Unused roles don't sit in the system forever waiting for someone to notice. Audit trail is built into the revocation flow, not bolted on after.

Agent 3 of 3 . Decision Co-pilot

AI Decision Co-pilot

Reviewers see an AI verdict and rationale before making their final call. Faster reviews, higher consistency - because everyone evaluates against the same evidence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about smartReview

smartReview vs SAP GRC Access Control - what's the difference? expand_more

smartReview covers the same recertification functions as SAP GRC AC but adds three key capabilities SAP GRC AC does not have: (1) AI suggestions (Approve/Revoke/Examine) based on real usage patterns, (2) reviews beyond SAP via universal XML adapter (billing, DWH, CRM, custom apps), (3) transparent pricing from €15K/year vs ~€250K/year for SAP GRC AC. smartReview is the modern SAP GRC AC replacement for most mid-market and enterprise organizations.

Does smartReview work on non-SAP systems? expand_more

Yes. smartReview has been extended beyond SAP at multiple enterprise customers, including a major telco-media group covering 8 non-SAP systems (billing, Teradata DWH, CRM, accounting sub-ledger, customer-file) on a single platform. The pattern relies on a universal XML adapter (XSD schema) that lets any system exporting user/permission/risk data integrate in days.

How much does smartReview cost? expand_more

smartReview is included in the Professional plan (from €30K/year, up to 800 SAP users) and Enterprise plan (custom pricing, full governance). All implementation costs are included in the annual fee - no hidden costs, no post-contract surprises. For comparison, classical enterprise GRC platforms start at ~€250K/year.

Is smartReview ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant? expand_more

Yes. smartGRC is built by GRC Solutions Sp. z o.o., with sister consulting practice GRC Advisory ISO 27001 certified, 15+ years SAP Security experience, 15 signed customer references. smartReview is designed to support SOX, ISO 27001, GDPR audits and equivalent obligations (e.g., banking regulators across EU).

What's the typical implementation timeline for smartReview? expand_more

For a standard SAP deployment: 4-8 weeks from kick-off to first production review campaign. For a multi-system deployment (SAP + non-SAP): 10-12 weeks, including XML adapter configuration for each added system. The internal audit team is trained to configure risks and campaigns in 1-2 parallel weeks.

Does smartReview integrate with my existing IDM (SailPoint, Oracle, One Identity)? expand_more

Yes. smartReview can consume identity and permission data from any IDM via the XML adapter (documented XSD schema). In practice, we have customers combining smartReview with Oracle IDM, SailPoint and One Identity without dualism: smartReview handles business-language risk, IDM handles technical account lifecycle.

Do external auditors (EY, KPMG, Deloitte, PwC) accept smartReview? expand_more

Yes. smartReview has been accepted by Big 4 auditors in multiple financial audits of publicly-listed groups, specifically via the complete audit trail: who reviewed, when, what they saw, what they decided, with what evidence attached. All exports are in standard format (CSV/XML) acceptable for external auditor working papers.

Can I test smartReview without commitment? expand_more

Yes: the interactive demo is accessible without signup, no credit card. You see the full interface with representative demo data. If you prefer to see the tool on your own data, we organize a 30-minute video session with a senior consultant - direct booking at contact.
