What is SAP Security?

Full name

SAP Security & Authorisations

Category

Security & Governance

Typical roles

SAP Security Consultant, SAP Authorisations Lead, Fiori Security Specialist

SAP Security focuses on identity, access and authorisation controls across SAP applications. Well-designed roles balance least privilege, operational usability and auditability.

SAP Security defines and administers access; SAP GRC adds structured risk analysis and governance workflows.

A practical SAP Security engagement begins with an inventory of the installed product and release, affected business processes, connected systems and decision-makers. From there, the team can define scope, data and integration requirements, testing responsibilities and a realistic transition or support plan.
