SAP Security Consulting services for every stage of your SAP journey

One overarching discipline, ten focused services. Each one is designed to solve a specific business problem: reducing access risk, passing audits, securing a new S/4HANA system or keeping security operations running.

Service 01

SAP Security Consulting

SAP Security Consulting is the foundation of everything we do. We help organizations understand the state of security across their SAP landscape, decide what good looks like for their business, and put a practical plan in place to get there.

SAP security strategy, target operating model and roadmap
Security design for new implementations, upgrades and migrations
Segregation of duties (SoD) frameworks and control design
Review of existing security concepts, role designs and processes

Service 02

SAP GRC

SAP GRC gives organizations a structured way to manage access risk, approve access, review it periodically and manage privileged access. We help you implement and run GRC in a way your business will actually use.

SAP GRC Access Control implementation and enhancement
Access Risk Analysis (ARA) and rule set design and customization
Access Request Management (ARM) workflows and approvals
Emergency Access Management (EAM / Firefighter) design and review

Service 03

SAP Authorization & Role Management

Authorization design determines whether users can do their jobs safely. Poorly built roles create both security risk and operational friction. We design and rebuild role concepts that stay clean over time.

Role design methodology (single, composite, derived, business roles)
Role redesign and clean-up for grown-over landscapes
Authorization concept documentation and naming conventions
Role build, testing and transport coordination

Service 04

SAP Access Management

Strong roles are only half the answer. Access must also be granted, changed and revoked through processes that are consistent, timely and traceable. We help organizations build access management that scales.

User lifecycle (JML) process design for SAP
Integration with identity and access management platforms
Access request and approval workflow design
Privileged and emergency access processes

Service 05

SAP HANA Security

SAP HANA introduces its own security model that sits beneath the application layer. Database users, privileges, analytic access and audit policies need the same discipline as application security.

SAP HANA user and privilege model design
HANA role design (catalog and repository / HDI roles)
Analytic and object privileges for reporting scenarios
Audit policy configuration and monitoring

Service 06

SAP S/4HANA Security

S/4HANA changes how users interact with SAP, and security has to change with it. Fiori apps, new authorization objects and simplified processes all require a redesigned security concept rather than a lift-and-shift of legacy roles.

S/4HANA security design for greenfield, brownfield and selective data transitions
Fiori security: catalogs, groups, spaces, pages and backend roles
Role redesign and conversion from ECC to S/4HANA
Security workstream leadership within implementation programmes

Service 07

SAP Audit & Compliance

Audit findings around SAP access are common, expensive and often repeated year after year. We help organizations prepare for audits with confidence, remediate findings properly and build controls that hold up over time.

Audit readiness reviews for SAP access and security controls
Support for SOX, ICFR and internal control frameworks as they apply to SAP
Response and remediation planning for audit findings
Design of IT general controls (ITGC) for SAP

Service 08

SAP Security Assessments

An SAP Security Assessment gives leadership a clear picture of risk across users, roles, critical access, configuration and processes. It is the fastest way to move from uncertainty to a prioritized plan.

User and role analysis, including critical and wide authorizations
Segregation of duties conflict analysis
Review of security parameters, system configuration and hardening
Process review: provisioning, emergency access, reviews, monitoring

Service 09

SAP Security Remediation

Knowing about a problem is not the same as fixing it. Remediation requires careful planning, testing and communication so that access is tightened without breaking business processes. We deliver remediation end to end.

Critical access and SAP_ALL / SAP_NEW removal programmes
Segregation of duties clean-up and mitigation implementation
Role redesign and re-mapping of users
Configuration hardening and parameter corrections

Service 10

Ongoing SAP Security Support

SAP security is not a one-time project. Roles change, people move, new systems are added and auditors return. Our ongoing support gives your organization access to SAP Security expertise on a predictable basis.

Role maintenance, change requests and transport coordination
User access administration and troubleshooting
GRC operations: risk analysis, mitigations, firefighter reviews
Periodic access reviews and audit support

Not sure which service you need?

Most engagements start with a short conversation about your SAP landscape, your concerns and any upcoming audits or projects. From there we recommend the most appropriate route: an assessment, a focused project, a consultant within your team or ongoing support.
