ACCESS RISK MANAGEMENT

Manage and mitigate SAP access risk

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’s a compliance problem 

Managing SoD risk for SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and Fiori applications is complex — especially with fragmented controls and manual reviews. SailPoint Access Risk Management streamlines GRC controls, enabling preventative SoD checks and risk analysis to reduce fraud, errors, and compliance violations across hybrid SAP landscapes.

  • 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

Certified protection for your SAP ecosystem 

SailPoint has achieved SAP® certification as integrated with RISE with SAP S/4HANA® Cloud, giving organizations confidence in extending identity-first governance across SAP systems. Manage SoD risk, streamline audits, and secure critical business processes.
