Pillar · Secure
See Your SAP Security Risk Clearly
Identify critical access, configuration and compliance risks before they impact the business.
The challenge
SAP Security Risks Are Often Hidden Across the Landscape
Excessive access and SoD conflicts
Excessive or inappropriate user access, Segregation of Duties conflicts, privileged and emergency access, and obsolete or poorly designed roles accumulate silently over time.
Insecure configurations and connections
Insecure system configurations, weak authentication controls, unmonitored technical users, and vulnerable RFC and interface connections expose the platform beyond user administration.
Limited visibility and audit evidence
Limited security logging, incomplete audit evidence, and security gaps introduced during projects or migrations leave the organization blind to its real exposure.
Without a structured security assessment, organizations may have limited visibility into where their most critical exposures exist and which actions should be prioritized.
How we help
Comprehensive SAP Security Assessment Services
Global Core Technologies evaluates your SAP security environment across people, processes, roles, configurations, and technical controls.
Identity and Access Review
We analyze user access, identify inactive and obsolete users, review privileged accounts, assess technical and communication users, and evaluate authentication policies and user lifecycle controls.
Role and Authorization Review
We assess the role architecture, analyze excessive authorizations, review critical transactions and sensitive objects, identify wildcard authorizations, and evaluate role assignments.
Segregation of Duties Analysis
We identify SoD conflicts and critical access risks, map them to business processes, review compensating controls, validate risk owners, and prioritize remediation.
Technical Security Review
We assess SAP security parameters, RFC destinations, secure communications, logging and trace configuration, transport security, and interface and integration risks.
Governance and Compliance Review
We evaluate access request processes, approval workflows, periodic access reviews, emergency access processes, audit evidence availability, and security policy alignment.
