Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about managing and supporting your SAP role solution

Why outsource the management of our SAP roles and authorizations rather than manage them internally?

Outsource the management of your SAP roles and authorizations allows you to benefit instantly from specialized, certified expertise which is often difficult and costly to maintain in-house. This ensures rapid updating roles in the face of regulatory and system changes (patches, version upgrades). By outsourcing this critical service, your in-house teams can concentrate on their core business, while guaranteeing a high level of security and compliance without interruption.

How does Secureway manage emergency access requests and the risk of authorization drift?

Secureway manages emergency access requests (or Emergency Access Management), supported by robust tools (including our SWAWE solution) for granting temporary and traceable rights (Firefighter). Our management service includes a continuous monitoring authorizations to detect any drift or non-compliant allocation immediately after it occurs. This active monitoring prevents progressive «pollution» of the role model, ensuring its sustainability and risk reduction over time.

Our current role model is old. Can you handle the management of a less-than-optimal model?

Yes, we can handle the management of a non-optimal model, But our first objective is to apply corrective measures. We usually start with a quick audit and the implementation of corrective «quickwins» (removing unnecessary access, cleaning up SAP_ALL roles) to stabilize the level of risk. Then, as part of the service contract, we offer progressive support towards a targeted role redesign (particularly on the highest-risk processes) to ensure that the managed model becomes increasingly efficient and compliant over time.

What are Secureway's service level agreements (SLAs) for role management?

Visit Secureway's service level agreements (SLAs) for role management are clearly defined in the service contract and include key indicators. These SLAs typically cover :

  • Response time to critical authorization incidents.
  • The time it takes to put new roles into production.
  • Frequency of SoD risk monitoring reports.
  • Guaranteed compliance with external audits. These commitments ensure the service continuity and responsiveness required for your SAP environment.
