SAP Role Risk Analysis

SAP ROLE RISK ANALYSIS

Understand SAP role risk
before it becomes a problem.

SAP roles can contain combinations of access that create security, compliance and segregation-of-duties risks. SimpAudit helps teams identify and understand these risks through structured role analysis.

Review role-based risk, identify high-risk authorizations and prioritize findings before risky access is assigned broadly.

SAP ROLE SECURITY

See the risks hidden inside
your SAP roles.

A role can provide users with access to important SAP functions and transactions. When access combinations are not reviewed carefully, roles can introduce excessive privileges or segregation-of-duties conflicts.

SimpAudit helps security and audit teams analyze roles, understand associated risk and prioritize the findings that require attention.

ROLE RISK VISIBILITY

Get a clearer view of
SAP role risk.

A role may look appropriate when reviewed individually, while combinations of authorizations can introduce additional exposure.

Role analysis helps teams understand which roles contain sensitive access, conflicting combinations or elevated privileges.

  • Identify role-based access risks
  • Detect segregation-of-duties conflicts
  • Review high-risk authorizations
  • Understand role-level exposure
  • Prioritize findings for investigation
  • Support role redesign and remediation
ROLE RISK ANALYSIS

Know which roles require
attention.

Not every role carries the same level of exposure. Risk analysis helps security teams understand which roles contain significant access and where further investigation should begin.

01 Identify

Find roles containing sensitive or conflicting access.

02 Understand

Understand how role authorizations contribute to risk.

03 Prioritize

Focus on roles with the highest risk indicators.

04 Remediate

Support role redesign and access remediation.

ROLE RISK PROCESS

From SAP role data
to risk insight.

Create a structured approach to reviewing roles, identifying risk and supporting security decisions.

01

Discover

Collect relevant SAP role and authorization information.

02

Analyze

Analyze role permissions, authorizations and access combinations.

03

Prioritize

Identify the roles and findings requiring further attention.

04

Remediate

Support role redesign, access reduction and remediation activities.

ROLE GOVERNANCE

Use role analysis
before access is assigned.

Role risk analysis is valuable not only during audits. Reviewing roles while they are being created or redesigned can help identify risk before access is assigned broadly.

This allows SAP security teams to address risky combinations earlier and support better access governance.

Role Creation Review risk before deployment.
Role Redesign Identify unnecessary access.
SoD Controls Identify conflicting access combinations.
Remediation Support changes to risky roles.
