GRC budgets are up, sourcing models are consolidating, and identity governance has become the fastest-rising priority in the SAP ecosystem — but a quiet gap is opening between technology investment and the human governance structures meant to keep it accountable.
Join SAPinsider for a data-driven look at the 2026 Benchmark Intelligence Report on GRC and Risk Intelligence for SAP, based on a global survey of IT, GRC, and security professionals conducted between March and June 2026. This session unpacks the detailed findings behind the headline numbers — what’s driving them, and what they mean for your GRC roadmap in 2027.
What you’ll learn:
- Why GRC budgets saw their sharpest increase in years — and why zero organizations reported a budget decrease in 2026
- Why organizations are abandoning hybrid GRC sourcing models in favor of committing fully in-house or fully integrated
- Why identity, access, and segregation-of-duties (SoD) governance jumped from a minor consideration to the second-most-cited business requirement in the survey
- Where risk priorities are shifting — from regulatory compliance toward the risks of technology transformation itself
- Why data privacy governance structures are eroding even as privacy technology adoption rises, and what that gap could mean for your next audit
- How the SAP GRC solutions and third-party vendor landscape is evolving, including where manual/spreadsheet-based risk tracking still persists
