What is the SAP Governance, Risk and Compliance course about?

Traditional GRC training stops at concepts. But in practice, teams struggle to align controls across ERP, S/4HANA, and cloud extensions. Manual audits, inconsistent risk ratings, and reactive compliance create friction in fast-moving environments. The gap isn’t awareness, it’s implementation clarity.
