Use Case Summary

Below is a demo which highlights how Compliance Officers use CERPASS to validate SAP security practices, monitor control effectiveness, and prepare audit-ready evidence—all within a central, easy-to-navigate platform. By showcasing real-world scenarios, the demo illustrates how CERPASS streamlines complex compliance tasks, reduces manual effort, and provides clear visibility into risk areas. Compliance Officers can quickly identify gaps, track remediation progress, and generate documentation that meets regulatory and audit requirements with confidence. The platform’s intuitive design ensures that even intricate SAP role structures and access controls can be managed efficiently, empowering teams to stay proactive rather than reactive. Ultimately, CERPASS enables organizations to strengthen their compliance posture, improve operational resilience, and demonstrate accountability to auditors and stakeholders alike.

 

 

Access Profile

Compliance Officers have access to all dashboards and reports related to access risk, controls, User Access Reviews (UARs), and Emergency Access Management (EAM)—providing comprehensive visibility across compliance operations. This centralized access ensures that officers can seamlessly monitor user activities, validate control effectiveness, and identify potential risks before they escalate.
Through the Access Profile, Compliance Officers can drill down into detailed analytics that highlight segregation of duties conflicts, high-risk access patterns, and remediation progress. Dashboards are designed to be intuitive, enabling quick navigation between high-level summaries and granular reports, so officers can move effortlessly from oversight to action.
User Access Reviews (UARs) are streamlined within the platform, allowing Compliance Officers to initiate, track, and complete reviews with full transparency. Emergency Access Management (EAM) is equally robust, providing clear audit trails of elevated access requests, approvals, and usage to ensure accountability and reduce exposure to unauthorized activities.
By consolidating these capabilities into a single, easy-to-use interface, the Access Profile empowers Compliance Officers to maintain continuous compliance readiness. It not only simplifies day-to-day monitoring but also equips organizations with audit-ready evidence, strengthening trust with regulators and stakeholders. Ultimately, the Access Profile transforms compliance oversight from a reactive task into a proactive, strategic function that supports both operational resilience and business confidence
