SAP Access Risk · GRC · Segregation of Duties

Walk into S/4HANA with clean access — not a backlog of SoD conflicts.

SAP ECC support ends in 2027, and every migration rebuilds your roles and rulesets. Most shops carry years of segregation-of-duties conflicts straight into the new system, where they resurface as audit findings. 7 Pillars Automation finds those conflicts, ranks them by risk, and hands you a prioritized plan to remediate them.

Why now

Three forces are pushing SAP access risk to the surface — all at once.

01 · ECC end of maintenance

December 31, 2027

Mainstream support for SAP ECC ends, confirmed with no further extensions. Extended support runs to 2030 at a premium. Migrations take 18–36 months — the clock is already tight.

02 · SAP IDM retirement

Identity governance moves

SAP Identity Management is being retired, pushing organizations onto IAG or third-party governance. Replacing an identity platform is the moment access risk gets re-examined.

03 · S/4HANA rebuilds roles

New system, old conflicts

Every migration re-cuts roles and rulesets. Without a clean baseline first, years of accumulated SoD conflicts transfer straight into the new environment.

The engagement

The SAP SoD Health Check

A fixed-scope assessment that gives you a clear, ranked picture of your access risk and a plan to fix it — the right first step before remediation, migration, or your next audit.

Access mapped, conflicts surfaced — amber = an SoD conflict to remediate.
