Challenges

Non-compliance with Industry Best Practices – The existing SAP environment had layered access and redundant authorizations that no longer complied with industry standards. This inconsistency made it difficult to maintain a uniform security posture across the enterprise. 

Excessive Permissions and Security Risks – Over the years, users had accumulated many permissions, increasing the risk of unauthorized access. This made auditing and risk mitigation more difficult. 

Manual and Inefficient Access Approval – The access approval process relied on manual intervention and multiple approval layers, leading to delays of several weeks for provisioning or modifying user access. 

Lack of visibility and Role Ownership – There was a limited transparency into who had access to what and how roles were mapped to responsibilities. Additionally, role conflicts and unused authorizations became error prone activity, leading to compliance risks. 

Solutions

We executed a complete restructuring of the security and authorization landscape, focusing on tightening security control, improving operational efficiency and ensuring long-term compliance. 

Redesigned Role Structure – Our team conducted complete audit of the existing authorisation framework and implemented a modular and business aligned role structure. This eliminated redundancy and improved overall security. 

Least Privilege Implementation – Our team adopted roll-based access model following the least privilege principle, ensuring each user has the only necessary access to perform their responsibilities. This mitigated the risk of unauthorised activities. 

Workflow Automation – Our team implemented automated workflows that digitized requests and approval cycles, reducing approval cycles from weeks to days. It also improved process consistency and introduced a standard auditing process. 

Role Matrix Standardisation – Our team developed a well-defined role-matric to bring clarity and a robust structure, outlining each role’s purpose, access limitations and ownership. This improved transparency and collaboration between business and IT teams.
