ACCESS RISK MANAGEMENT
Stop SAP access risk before it starts
Extend identity security to detect, prevent, and manage separation of duties (SoD) conflicts and sensitive access risk for SAP.
Challenge & solution
Control SAP access risk before it impacts compliance
Securing complex environments like SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and Fiori requires more than broad transaction-level visibility. SailPoint Access Risk Management delivers granular, field-level and authorization-value analysis to surface hidden risks.
How SailPoint Access Risk Management helps
- Unify risk management and SoD analysis for complex SAP landscapes
- Identify, simulate, and prevent SoD conflicts before provisioning
- Automate access reviews and emergency access workflows
- Gain comprehensive visibility into utilization and sensitive transactions
Use cases
Streamline SAP SoD access controls
SailPoint Access Risk Management empowers organizations to uncover and control separation of duties (SoD) access risk across SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and Fiori applications hosted on-premises or on RISE with SAP. Seamlessly integrated into the SailPoint platform, it combines predictive risk analysis, continuous SoD monitoring, and automated controls to simplify audits, prevent fraud, and reduce operational overhead.
Prevent SoD conflicts early
Simulate and analyze access changes before they’re applied to prevent violations and risky combinations of roles. With real-time modeling and automated policy enforcement, SailPoint Access Risk Management helps you maintain compliance and reduce costly audit remediation.
- Prevent SoD conflicts for SAP ECC, S/4HANA, Fiori, and RISE
- Simulate access before provisioning to stop violations
- Analyze risk down to transaction codes and authorization objects
- Achieve faster ROI with automated SoD analysis
Detect and remediate high-risk access
Identify sensitive authorizations, unused entitlements, and excessive permissions across your SAP landscape, with clear steps to clean up access and reduce exposure.
- Proactively detect excessive, outdated, or unused access
- Automate alerts, mitigation, and emergency access workflows
- Visualize SAP risk exposure with intuitive dashboards
- Simplify audits with reports tailored to compliance needs
Unify SAP access governance
Bridge the gap between isolated SAP security silos and centralized enterprise identity governance, giving audit and security teams a single source of truth for all human and non-human access risk.
- Manage SAP and non-SAP access risks from a single platform
- Empower teams to act faster with data-driven insights
- Reduce audit fatigue and compliance overhead

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is SailPoint Access Risk Management?
SailPoint Access Risk Management is a cloud-native that provides fine-grained visibility into access risks, separation of duties (SoD) conflicts, and sensitive authorizations within mission-critical environments like SAP.
How does Access Risk Management compare to SAP GRC Access Control?
Unlike traditional GRC tools that require extensive infrastructure and months of custom configuration, Access Risk Management delivers cloud-native management, rapid initial visibility, and works seamlessly within the SailPoint platform.
What are separation of duties (SoD) risks?
Separation of duties (SoD) conflicts occur when a single user holds permissions that allow them to execute conflicting business actions—such as creating a vendor and approving a payment. Without preventative controls, these toxic combinations introduce significant financial, operational, and fraud risk. Access Risk Management identifies and prevents these conflicts across complex SAP authorization roles.
How does the SailPoint platform work with Access Risk Management?
Access Risk Management seamlessly extends the SailPoint platform by adding deep, fine-grained access risk and separation of duties (SoD) analysis into standard access request, certification, and provisioning workflows. When an access request is submitted, potential risks are evaluated in real time to alert approvers before access is provisioned.
How does Access Risk Management support audits and compliance?
SailPoint Access Risk Management simplifies audits with automated SAP access reports, evidence collection, and SoD insights for SOX, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance.
How does Access Risk Management reduce manual SAP access tasks?
SailPoint Access Risk Management automates risk analysis, role design, and SoD remediation, reducing manual SAP reviews and improving compliance efficiency.
How quickly can organizations deploy SailPoint Access Risk Management?
SailPoint Access Risk Management’s SaaS deployment allows fast setup in weeks, with prebuilt rulebooks and automated onboarding enabling rapid risk mitigation.
How do organizations get started with SailPoint Access Risk Management?
Organizations can begin with Access Risk Management independently or choose the Access Risk Management QuickStart. This pre-packaged engagement accelerates deployment by focusing on key deliverables like configuring baseline policies and training your team. It ensures your access risk, SoD, and compliance use cases are addressed efficiently, delivering faster time to value.
