SAP Security & GRC Consulting

Compliance that doesn't slow down operations

We design and audit SAP security models for companies that can't afford to choose between compliance and operations. Both, at the same time.

Operating in regulated environments

Finance, manufacturing, healthcare and logistics — sectors where an audit finding has real consequences.

SAP GRC Access Control

Implementation of all 4 modules: ARA, BRM, ARM and EAM. Full control of access across your landscape.

Role and profile re-engineering

Migration to a model based on positions and functions. Fewer conflicts, more traceability.

The SAP security you can't see is the one that ends up failing

Scenario 01

Roles with more access than needed

A purchasing user who can also approve payments. A developer with access to production. SoD conflicts that have existed since implementation and nobody reviewed.

Scenario 02

External audit with critical findings

The compliance team delivers the report. There are users with full access to critical financial transactions. Manual remediation, with no methodology, takes months.

With Novis

Diagnosis → the right model → sustained compliance

We identify the real risk, design the security model aligned to the business and maintain it over time — without ever slowing down operations.

Methodology

The SAP security that works is the one someone maintains.

01

Diagnose

We map the real risk: users, roles, critical access, existing SoD conflicts and regulatory exposure.

02

Design

We build the right security model for your business: roles, policies, approval workflows and controls.

03

Remediate

We implement changes in waves, without stopping operations. Each stage validated before moving on.

04

Sustain

Continuous monitoring, early alerts and support during periodic audits to keep compliance over time.

Sector experience

Regulated environments are our home turf

Financial sector

CNBV, CONDUSEF, SOX. We audit and remediate under the sector's most demanding frameworks.

Manufacturing

Critical operations where a misassigned access can directly impact the production chain.

Healthcare

Data confidentiality, traceability of medical purchases and access control to sensitive information.

Logistics

Multiple entities and partners in the landscape. Unified access governance across systems.

A good SAP security policy isn't just a technical fit: it's business. If you can't give the findings team — and the IT team — good reasons for every access decision, something in the process is failing. Novis was the first to understand that without us having to explain it.
Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before getting started

How critical can SAP security be for my business?
A poorly designed security model exposes the company to internal fraud, unauthorized access to financial information and critical findings in external audits. In regulated industries, this can lead to direct penalties. The initial diagnosis lets you size the real risk before acting.
How critical are roles in the SAP functional model?
Roles define exactly what each user can do. A poorly designed role —with more access than needed— is the main source of segregation conflicts. Migrating to a model based on positions and functions resolves this structurally, not with patches.
Is it mandatory to implement SAP GRC Access Control?
Not for every company. But in organizations with more than 100 SAP users or in regulated environments, GRC AC eliminates the manual effort of access management and guarantees the traceability auditors require. We assess it in the initial diagnosis.
How long does an SAP security project take?
The diagnosis takes 2–3 weeks. Role re-engineering for a mid-sized company, between 3 and 6 months. GRC AC implementation, an additional 2 to 4 months depending on complexity. It all starts with the diagnosis, which defines the real scope.
Do you work with clients that have SAP in the cloud?
Yes. Our security practice covers on-premise, cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and hybrid landscapes. The security model adapts to the architecture, not the other way around.
First step

We start with the diagnosis

2 to 3 weeks to map the real risk of your SAP landscape and hand you a concrete action plan — before committing budget or changing a single line of code.
