Challenges

ADOVA Group decided in 2020 to undertake a process to optimize SAP rights management following an audit that revealed areas for improvement related to user rights. 

Solution proposed by SWAWE

The proposal to use the SWAWE solution during the audit phase was accepted and allowed the team to automate the risk analyses to assess compliance with the principles of separation of duties (SoD).

The implementation of SWAWE has considerably strengthened our SAP security management and our consideration of SOD risks for our 280 users. The implementation of "SUPER-USERS" with approval processes for IT employees, allows us to assign permissions in a meaningful way. Customized reports meet our needs and allow us to track our SOD risk level for all SAP users.

Results

ADOVA Group has now made SAP authorization management more reliable after an overhaul of the roles and continues to improve security by gradually deploying SWAWE modules.

In particular, the risk management module has significantly reduced segregation of duties conflicts and ISD rights are now under control with the Privilege Access Management module.

The CCM module will soon cover ITGC periodicals.

ADOVA Group plans to extend its use of SWAWE to automate and secure the management of SAP users => This would represent a definite return on investment.
