SAP Audit Support
SAP Access and Controls are designed to help you immediately identify authorisation threats, and proactively prevent fraud and breaches, while minimising overall security costs. Yet some organisations lack controls assurance, while others are plagued by inferior systems. But as the number and severity of threats to your environment continue to grow, the need for even greater control over your SAP applications has become more critical than ever before.
With Turnkey’s SAP Audit Support services, some of today’s most skilled security professionals can help you understand your SAP controls landscape and the related risks, so you can extend and enhance your environment to maximise protection.
Our consultants are experts in the re-design, delivery, and review of existing SAP Access and Controls designs. By combining their practical experience with their knowledge of SAP audit procedures, they can provide unparalleled assistance in developing and implementing a comprehensive, yet efficient controls framework that spans all systems and processes, and addresses all risks to both your SAP systems and your business. As a result, your controls will adhere to even the most stringent regulatory requirements, while delivering true business value.
Security Review Services for Audit
Using standard audit methodologies and best practices, our consultants will evaluate your existing landscape against standard best practice levels by reviewing the following key areas:
- SAP Basis
- SAP infrastructure
- High-level SAP security design
- Segregation of duties
- User administration policies
- Authorisation and change management procedures
- Development processes
This will help them to correctly identify any deficiencies, and determine the appropriate security levels for your organisation. They will then work directly with your security and IT teams to provide detailed and specific recommendations that include an infrastructure and associated processes that will best facilitate the safest possible business operations. These stakeholders will be continuously engaged, providing input and receiving updates throughout the process.
SAP Process Controls Review
During the course of an audit, regulators will likely review existing SAP Process and Configurable controls. However, in many companies, these are not properly integrated with SAP Access controls. And when both sets of controls are not closely aligned, a company’s ability to successfully pass an audit is put in jeopardy.
Turnkey can conduct a thorough review your SAP environment, to identify what Configurable and Monitoring controls are in place, how effectively they are being utilised, and how well they are aligned with your Access controls. Our consultants will accomplish this by:
- Reviewing and mapping your SAP business processes, to gain insight into both manual and system controls.
- Assessing your SAP configuration settings, to determine if configurable controls are being used properly.
- Reviewing your SAP application profiles to understand what role application security plays in your overall business process control environment.
- Evaluating your general IT controls, such as disaster recovery and change management, as they relate to your SAP systems.
- Assessing all SAP data conversion and system interface controls.
- Reviewing system controls as they relate to regulatory reviews, financial audits, and internal guidelines.
