SAP SOX COMPLIANCE

A customer working in the telecommunications sector needed to migrate their SAP R3 into SAP S4/HANA whilst maintaining compliance with the Sarbaines-Oxley Act (SOX).

The CFO delegated the security aspects of the migration to FORFIRM. Interacting with the security office and external auditors, we defined and agreed on an action plan to be implemented on the new SAP S4/HANA.

FORFIRM governed and implemented the following as part of the action plan:

• SAP Security and Basis configuration
• Implementation of new SAP roles according to new processes designed.
• Deployment of new SAP GRC module and fully automated SAP security process.

FORFIRM supported the client throughout the entire process of SOX controls recertification.

Benefits

The customer achieved full compliance with SOX, certified by the external auditors.

Increased SAP security in line with Telco workflow, helping to avoid data breaches.
