SYNC' VNSG & SAP Event NL – 12 March 2026

The SAP landscape is evolving faster than ever. Organizations are navigating S/4HANA transformations, re‑evaluating licensing models, strengthening internal controls and seeking simplicity in their compliance processes. In the midst of this shift, events that unite SAP professionals have never been more important. That’s why we are proud to announce that CERPASS is an official sponsor of the SYNC’ VNSG & SAP Annual Event 2026, taking place on 12 March 2026 at De Woonindustrie in Nieuwegein, Netherlands. As a sponsor, CERPASS is committed to investing in the SAP community’s growth, collaboration and shared learning. The VNSG network represents more than 9,000 SAP professionals across hundreds of organizations, making this event one of the most influential gatherings in the region. We’re honored to support an event that empowers organizations to refine their SAP strategies and prepare for the future. Why Sponsoring SYNC' 2026 Matters to CERPASS Our mission has always been to deliver Simple, Affordable, Fast and Easy (S.A.F.E.) compliance for SAP-driven organizations. Sponsoring SYNC' allows us to amplify that mission on a global stage. Here’s why this sponsorship is so meaningful: 1. Supporting a Community in Transition From SAP Cloud ERP Private (formerly RISE with SAP) to the evolving Full User Equivalent (FUE) licensing model, the SAP community is undergoing significant transformation. Many organizations are refining their access governance, modernizing controls and looking for new ways to reduce licensing overhead. SYNC' offers deep insights into these transitions — including sessions on migrations, licensing optimization and modernization strategies. By sponsoring, we’re enabling more organizations to access the knowledge they need to navigate these changes confidently. 2. Investing in Collaboration and Shared Learning The event is built around themes of connection, collaboration and the future of SAP technologies. Sponsorship allows us to help facilitate the exchange of expertise across industries, roles and levels of SAP maturity. For CERPASS, this isn’t just a branding opportunity — it’s an investment in strengthening the community that our solution is built to serve. 3. Embodying the Spirit of #simpleGRC Traditional GRC frameworks are often complex, expensive and slow to deliver value. Our presence as a sponsor demonstrates our commitment to changing that narrative. We’re championing a future where compliance is accessible, usable and aligned to real business needs. At SYNC' 2026, we will demonstrate how CERPASS puts #simpleGRC into practice, helping organizations to: Reduce manual compliance workload Gain visibility across access, risk and controls Modernize SAP governance with automation Improve audit readiness Strengthen SAP security posture This sponsorship signals our dedication to helping organizations transform compliance into a strategic advantage.

CERPASS for Security Admins: Role Risk, Simulations & Controls

Use Case Summary This demo outlines how Security Administrators use CERPASS to proactively manage role design, simulate access changes, and reduce risk exposure—all while supporting continuous compliance improvement. By providing a centralized, intuitive platform, CERPASS enables administrators to streamline the complex task of managing SAP roles and authorizations, ensuring that access rights are both efficient and compliant. Security Administrators can leverage CERPASS to design and refine role structures with precision, reducing the likelihood of segregation of duties (SoD) conflicts and minimizing unnecessary access privileges. The platform’s simulation capabilities allow administrators to model potential access changes before they are implemented, giving them a clear view of the downstream impact on compliance and risk exposure. This proactive approach helps prevent issues before they arise, rather than relying on reactive remediation. In addition, CERPASS equips administrators with real-time dashboards and analytics that highlight high-risk access patterns, control gaps, and remediation progress. This visibility empowers them to take corrective action quickly and maintain alignment with organizational policies and regulatory requirements. By integrating compliance monitoring directly into role management workflows, CERPASS ensures that every access decision contributes to a stronger security posture. Ultimately, CERPASS transforms the role of Security Administrators from gatekeepers to strategic enablers. They can confidently balance operational efficiency with compliance demands, reduce audit fatigue by maintaining audit-ready evidence, and continuously improve the organization’s security framework. This outcome not only strengthens compliance resilience but also supports broader business objectives by safeguarding sensitive data and reinforcing trust with stakeholders.

CERPASS for Auditors: Transparency for Compliance Verification

Use Case Summary This demo outlines how auditors—both internal and external—use CERPASS to access the data they need to verify compliant operations, review audit trails, and validate the execution of security controls and procedures. By consolidating compliance information into a single, centralized platform, CERPASS eliminates the inefficiencies of manual evidence collection and fragmented reporting, giving auditors immediate visibility into the organization’s compliance posture. Auditors can leverage CERPASS dashboards to quickly identify key risk areas, track the effectiveness of controls, and confirm that user access aligns with established policies and regulatory requirements. The platform provides detailed audit trails that document every action, approval, and remediation step, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the compliance lifecycle. This level of traceability not only supports accurate verification but also strengthens confidence in the integrity of SAP security practices. Internal auditors benefit from streamlined workflows that allow them to monitor ongoing compliance activities, validate corrective actions, and provide timely feedback to management. External auditors, meanwhile, gain access to audit-ready evidence that reduces the time and effort required to complete formal reviews. Both groups can rely on CERPASS to deliver consistent, reliable data that supports their independent assessments. Ultimately, CERPASS transforms the audit process from a reactive, resource-intensive exercise into a proactive, efficient, and collaborative function. By equipping auditors with the tools to validate compliance operations in real time, the platform helps organizations demonstrate accountability, reduce audit fatigue, and build trust with regulators, stakeholders, and business partners.
