SAP Access Risk Assessment: A Practical Framework

An SAP access risk assessment evaluates whether users and roles provide more access than required and whether combinations create unacceptable risk.

A practical framework

1. Inventory users and roles.
2. Identify privileged access.
3. Run SoD analysis.
4. Assess role-level risk.
5. Score and prioritize findings.
6. Validate business context.
7. Remediate or document mitigating controls.
8. Report results to stakeholders.

Make the assessment repeatable

Using a dedicated platform such as SimpAudit can help establish consistent analysis and reporting for recurring access-risk assessments.
