smartReport

smartReport allows you to generate reports for data collected in the system from other modules of the smartGRC solution. Generated reports can be exported to a file and customized for their own presentation needs. Through extensive mechanisms for personalization of reports for specific user requirements, the tool quickly provides information in the required form, scope and at a specific level of granularity.

This module is strongly integrated with the smartSoD module. It allows, for example, to define Segragation of Duties conflicts (SoD) occurring in an enterprise both at the user and role level.

smartReport module:

  • Personalization of report results
  • Results generated in real time, without the need to wait for results
  • The ability to export results to a file

  • Reports regarding segregation of duties risks – systematic control of risks in the system, based on generated reports

smartArchitect

The smartArchitect module enables creation and management of a role catalog according to the best practices for many environments. Simulation integrated with the SoD matrix allows you to identify and eliminate SoD conflicts in roles very early, during role design. The available documentation, stored in the system, clearly and understandably presents key parameters for roles.



smartArchitect module:

  • Elimination of SoD risks occurring in roles
  • Systematized and transparent catalog of roles
  • Optimization of the costs of building roles

smartReview

The smartReview module allows you to periodically review access of users. Faced with the expansion and changes of the companies organizational structure, as well as the emerging audit requirements, the need to create a tool that will quickly, easily, efficiently and periodically harmonize the users access in systems with their current role in business processes has arisen.
