Access Risk Management
Your SAP system already knows who can commit fraud. Do you?
Picture this - right now, somewhere in your role design, one user can both change a bank account and release the payment. The access was approved years ago, the auditor hasn't found it yet, and nobody owns the risk.
CERPASS Access Risk Management finds it first. It continuously scans every user, role, and authorization in your SAP landscape against a proven ruleset — surfacing SoD conflicts and sensitive-access exposures ranked by real business impact, not raw violation counts. Then it does what a report never could: routes each risk to the business owner who can actually fix it, tracks the remediation or mitigation, and keeps the evidence audit-ready.
Most tools hand you a 10,000-line violation report. CERPASS hands you a shrinking risk list with a name next to every item.
Find it. Fix it. Prove it.
Access Risk Simulations
Know the risk before you grant the access.
Every access request is a bet. Approve it, and you might have just handed one user the ability to create a vendor and pay it — you won't find out until the audit does.
CERPASS ends the guesswork. Before any role or access change touches your SAP system, CERPASS simulates it against your live risk ruleset and shows approvers exactly what would change: every new SoD conflict, every sensitive-access exposure, named and quantified — in seconds, not after go-live.
No more cleaning up violations in production. No more audit findings that trace back to a single approved ticket. No more approvers signing off blind.
Simulate first. Commit with confidence.
FUE OPTIMIZATION
In RISE, you don't pay for what users do. You pay for what they could do.
SAP's FUE model classifies every user by their authorizations — not their activity. One wide role, granted years ago and never used, can silently upgrade a Self-Service user to Advanced and multiply their license cost. Multiply that across thousands of users, and your role design becomes the most expensive line item nobody is managing.
CERPASS FUE License Optimization compares what each user is licensed for against what they actually use — then shows you exactly which authorizations to strip, which roles to reshape, and what each change saves in FUEs before you commit it. Right-size a user, watch the classification drop, keep the evidence for your next SAP negotiation.
Your auditors check your access. Nobody checks your FUE count — until the renewal.
Stop paying Advanced prices for Self-Service work.
Emergency Access Management
The riskiest user in your SAP system is the one you trusted most.
Every landscape has them: the consultant with SAP_ALL "for the migration," the admin whose broad access outlived the crisis that justified it. Standing privileged access is how one bad day — or one bad actor — becomes a material finding.
CERPASS Emergency Access Management makes elevated access something you grant for hours, not years. Users request firefighter access with a business reason, get it time-boxed and fully logged, and lose it automatically when the window closes. Then comes the part everyone else gets wrong: instead of dumping a thousand-line session log on a reviewer who'll sign it unread, CERPASS flags the actions that actually matter — the critical changes, the sensitive transactions — so review takes minutes and means something.
No standing SAP_ALL. No rubber-stamp log reviews. No explaining to an auditor why the emergency lasted three years.
Break glass. Leave a paper trail.
User Access Review
Your last access review certified 40,000 line items. How many did anyone actually read?
Everyone knows the ritual: a campaign launches, managers get a spreadsheet of cryptic role names, and with a deadline looming they do the only rational thing — select all, approve, submit. The access stays, the risk stays, and the sign-off is worth exactly nothing. Auditors are catching on.
CERPASS User Access Reviews are built for a decision, not a checkbox. Reviewers see access in plain business language — what the user can actually do, not the role's technical name — with the risky items flagged and pushed to the top. Delta reviews mean managers re-certify only what changed since last cycle, not the same 400 lines every quarter. Removals flow back to SAP automatically, and every decision lands in an audit-ready evidence trail without anyone assembling a binder.
Reviews people can actually do become reviews that actually work.
No spreadsheets. No rubber stamps. No week of chasing sign-offs.
Business Controls
Half your risk register says "accepted — mitigating control in place." When did anyone last check the control?
Every SAP customer carries SoD conflicts they can't remove, mitigated by a monthly report someone swears they review. Auditors call these compensating controls. In practice they're promises — undocumented, unperformed, and untested until the year the fraud goes through one of them.
CERPASS Business Controls turns paper mitigations into working ones. Every control in your risk register becomes an automated check running against live SAP data: did the user with the conflict actually exercise it — on the same document, for real money? Did the vendor master change get an independent review, or just a status flag? Exceptions go straight to the risk owner with the evidence attached, so a "mitigated" risk means monitored, not filed away.
SAP Process Control documents that your controls exist. CERPASS proves they work — every day, on every transaction.
A risk register full of promises isn't control. It's paperwork with a signature
Preparing for an SAP audit
Generate audit-ready access risk reports, evidence of periodic reviews, and mitigating control documentation in the format your auditors expect.
S/4HANA migration readiness
Clean your access landscape before migrating — identify SoD conflicts in your current roles and use Simulations to test your future-state before go-live.
Proving compliance to your CFO
Executive-level risk dashboards convert technical GRC data into board-ready language — showing where risk exists and what is being done about it.
Moving GRC ownership from IT to the business
CERPASS is designed so Finance, HR, and Procurement leaders can own their access risk directly — reducing the burden on IT while improving accountability.
Managing emergency access safely
Grant temporary elevated access in a time-bounded, approval-driven workflow — with automatic revocation and session-level activity logging for every firefighter session.
Optimising FUE licences before RISE
Analyse actual usage data to right-size your FUE licence agreement before signing your RISE with SAP contract — and avoid paying for access nobody uses.
