SAS IT & SureStep’s Partnership Will Help Australasian Businesses More Easily Meet Regulations & Compliance

SAS IT is excited to announce our partnership with SureStep to help Australasian businesses stay on top of the rapidly changing requirements for regulatory compliance.  

Providing specialist governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions, SureStep are leaders in the market with Fortress, powered by IBM OpenPages.  

Our partnership unlocks the ability to correctly size this market leading compliance management software, enabling your business to deliver outstanding value through proactive management of your compliance requirements.

This is timely because new compliance laws are coming into effect this year, which will pose significant challenges for many businesses.  

"The New Zealand regulatory landscape is being shaken up, and organisations will struggle without the right solution to manage their governance, risk and compliance."  

"So, we're thrilled to bring SureStep's next-generation GRC software to New Zealand and Australia to help companies reduce risk, save costs and make better business decisions," says SAS IT Group CEO, Matt Roberts.

Compliance Used to Be Time-consuming and Costly

Organisations often manage their governance, risk and compliance in spreadsheets across different departments, which are unable to provide a holistic enterprise view.

With this information in silos throughout the business, it's time-consuming and costly to pull together the necessary reports to understand the organisation's risk. Making delivering insights difficult and hard to identify when they're needed to make decisions.

"We developed Fortress to make compliance management easy – combining an intuitive UI with the power of IBM's Watson's machine learning and language processing capabilities," says Katya Fishchukova, SureStep Managing Director APAC.  

"Our partnership with SAS IT and entry into the New Zealand and Australian markets gives businesses the tools to manage compliance while remaining agile and innovative."
