Case Study: Nyrstar achieves 86% reduction in Segregation of Duties conflicts in four months with Symmetry's ControlPanelGRC

Nyrstar cut its SOD violations by 86% in just 4 months

Nyrstar, an integrated mining and metals company with global operations, was struggling with Segregation of Duties (SoD) gaps in its SAP environment that made internal audit and risk management slow and resource-intensive. To address these issues the company deployed Symmetry’s ControlPanelGRC suite—initially the Emergency Access module and later the Risk Analyzer and Usage Analyzer—to bring pragmatic tooling to their SAP security program.

Symmetry implemented ControlPanelGRC rapidly (Emergency Access in days after a two‑hour webinar; Risk and Usage Analyzers within three days), enabling streamlined audit reporting within a week and actionable SoD remediation workflows. The result: Nyrstar reduced SoD conflicts by 86% in four months, improving the speed, effectiveness and quality of its compliance program while remaining on track to remediate the remaining risks.
