Pillar · Secure
Control SAP Access with Confidence
Automate access governance, reduce risk and simplify compliance with SAP GRC.
The challenge
Manual Access Management Creates Risk and Complexity
Manual, inconsistent processes
Manual access request processes, inconsistent approvals, delayed user provisioning, and complex role assignment decisions slow the business down and produce unpredictable outcomes.
Unmanaged access risk
Limited visibility into SoD risks, excessive or outdated access, uncontrolled emergency access, and limited ownership of access risks leave real exposure unaddressed.
Audit effort and underused GRC
Incomplete audit trails, high effort during audits, and underutilized SAP GRC capabilities turn every compliance cycle into a fire drill.
Without an integrated governance platform, access decisions may be slow, inconsistent, difficult to audit, and disconnected from business risk.
How we help
End-to-End SAP GRC Access Control Services
Global Core Technologies supports the full SAP GRC lifecycle, from strategy and implementation to optimization and managed services.
Access Risk Analysis
We design SoD rule sets, define critical access, enable real-time risk analysis and user and role risk simulation, assign risk owners, and manage mitigating controls.
Access Request Management
We design access request workflows, automate approval processes, integrate business roles, embed risk analysis into requests, and connect provisioning with full status and audit tracking.
Emergency Access Management
We design Firefighter IDs, emergency access workflows, and reason code structures, with activity logging, controller reviews, and compliance reporting.
Business Role Management
We establish role lifecycle governance, ownership, and approval workflows, integrate role methodology, and support role certification and documentation standards.
User Access Review
We enable periodic access certification with manager and role owner reviews, risk-based campaigns, reviewer guidance, escalation workflows, and audit evidence generation.
GRC Optimization
We review existing configurations, simplify workflows, tune rule sets, improve performance and reporting, and support upgrades and migrations.
