GRC 10 AC Upgrade from 5.3

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

Hope everything is well, and wanted to pick as much information from you all regarding a GRC 1- AC upgrade which i shall be working on, this is my first upgrade from a Security point of view.

Please can someone advice if they have worked on  GRC 10 AC upgrade which will include CUP too.  From GRC 5.3 ----------> GRC 10

What i am concerned on is the following:

Is this a BASIS activity doing an upgrade or is it a Security responsibility?

Must someone be a Functional or Technical person?

I dont know where I start from on this sort of upgrade and how long does something like this takes and whether its a 1 Security and Authorisation Consultants role or is it for 2 Consultant?

Is it simple or will I get obstacles no doubt?

I know GRC 10 has a extraction tool, to move all data in 5.3 into 10, but is it simple as that?

any suggestions will be most welcomed,

thanks

Hi,

Probably best to post this in the GRC forum but my thoughts are:

It's not an upgrade, it is a migration.  Your Basis team will build a complete new stack but you'll need to agree who will do stuff like activate BC sets etc.

There will then be plenty of work for whoever looks after the current GRC system -  importing rulesets (if you don't take the standard), FF setup, rebuilding CUP/AR workflows etc (do not migrate CUP).

There is a lot more to it than this, I strongly recommend that you go on the GRC300 course.  We are seeing a lot of clients who have had problems with their 10.0 implementations, much of it avoidable if they had attended the course. 

Cheers
