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.
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.
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.
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.
Illustrative mockup from the smartReview dashboard. Live signals show role-usage health, with PRUNE/URGENT badges driven by agent analysis.
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.
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.
Illustrative mockup from the smartReview revocation queue. Countdown badges show time-to-revoke; entries flip to REVOKED or ON HOLD based on appeals.
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.
Reviewers see an AI verdict and rationale before making their final call. Faster reviews, higher consistency - because everyone evaluates against the same evidence.
User holds both POSTING and APPROVE - a P2P SoD conflict (RISK-FI-04). User has posted in 30/90 days, but never approved her own postings (mitigated by manual control MC-021). Cleanest fix: remove SAP_FI_APPROVE since the user does not actually approve.

Reviewers handle 100+ items in the time it used to take for 20. Decisions converge because the same evidence is laid out the same way every time.
Reviewed 1,284 user-role assignments. 412 auto-cleared as actively used. 18 flagged for human review (unused > 90d, role-creep, anomalies).
Illustrative mockup. The Continuous Review Agent monitors usage in real time, auto-revokes after a notice window, and escalates ambiguous patterns to a human reviewer.
Review work spread evenly across the year. Reviewers focus on ambiguous cases, not rubber-stamping the obvious ones.
SAP ERP, S/4 HANA, HCM, Active Directory, custom systems - everything gathered per user in one view.
See which permissions were used intensively, rarely, or never. Decisions based on facts.
Reviewer sees which permissions generate an SoD conflict - easy to decide what to revoke.
Manager / Security Officer / Process Owner - each reviews their slice, the system orchestrates.
Every decision recorded with context - who, when, why. Audit material without prep.
Quarterly / semi-annual / annual schedules - the system launches the campaign, reminds, escalates delays.
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.
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.

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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
