SureStep delivers full-lifecycle implementation and optimization of SAS Governance and Compliance Manager, enabling organizations to centralize policies, controls, risks, issues, and regulatory obligations within a unified governance platform. We configure the system as a structured, defensible source of truth—strengthening oversight, improving transparency, and ensuring consistent execution across the enterprise.
The Challenge: Disconnected Governance and Compliance Processes
Organizations often manage critical governance elements—policies, risks, controls, regulatory requirements, and issues—across spreadsheets, shared drives, and highly manual workflows. This fragmentation creates inconsistent documentation, unclear ownership, and significant exposure during audits and regulatory examinations. As expectations rise around accountability, defensibility, and control effectiveness, legacy processes cannot provide the transparency and structure required for a mature governance program.
Why You Need a Unified Governance and Compliance Platform
Governance functions depend on accurate, centralized information to ensure obligations are understood, controls operate effectively, and risks are managed consistently. Without a system to connect policies to controls, controls to testing, and issues to remediation, organizations struggle to demonstrate credible oversight. Regulators increasingly expect traceable governance frameworks and evidence that compliance, risk, and operational teams are aligned. A system-driven approach provides structured workflows, complete audit trails, standardized documentation, and clear visibility across all elements of governance and compliance.
SureStep’s Expertise with SAS Governance and Compliance Manager
SureStep implements SAS Governance and Compliance Manager as a fully connected governance hub tailored to enterprise needs. We configure taxonomies, policy frameworks, control libraries, risk registers, assessment workflows, regulatory mappings, and issue management processes—all designed to reflect your oversight model and regulatory obligations. Our team integrates the system with upstream and downstream data sources, enabling automated monitoring, consistent reporting, and end-to-end accountability across compliance, risk management, internal audit, and business line owners.
We also refine and optimize existing deployments, aligning workflows to regulatory expectations, simplifying process design, and improving usability for frontline teams. By establishing clear governance structures and automated controls, SureStep ensures your program is both efficient and defensible.
Driving ROI from Governance and Compliance Modernization
A well-designed governance and compliance system strengthens oversight, reduces operational burden, and enhances regulatory trust. Automated workflows eliminate manual effort, centralized data improves accuracy, and unified reporting provides executives and regulators with clear, timely insights. When implemented effectively, governance becomes a strategic capability—not a reactive obligation.
