What is the best SAP SoD tool?
The best SAP SoD tool depends on whether you need provisioning workflows or fast, focused analysis and remediation. MTC Skopos is a specialized SAP SoD tool: it runs authorization-object-level segregation of duties analysis in minutes, deploys as a portable desktop app with no server, and goes beyond detection to generate remediation plans. For a feature-by-feature comparison, see our SoD tools guide.
How much does an SAP SoD tool cost?
MTC Skopos starts at €5,736/year for the base license (one seat, billed yearly). Additional seats are €555 each, and optional add-ons cover remediation reports, did-do analysis, simulation, and cross-system analysis. There is a free trial with no commitment.
Can I run SAP segregation of duties analysis without a server?
Yes. MTC Skopos is a portable SAP SoD tool that runs on your desktop with no server, no agent inside SAP, and no cloud upload. Connect to SAP over RFC or import a CSV, and your authorization data stays on your machine. It is operational the same day, which suits consultants and auditors moving between client systems.
Does MTC Skopos do ERP segregation of duties beyond SAP?
Yes. Beyond SAP, MTC Skopos handles ERP segregation of duties for any system that can export role and user data (Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, Oracle PeopleSoft, Kyriba, and more) via CSV import. Cross-system analysis then detects SoD conflicts that span several ERPs at once.
How is MTC Skopos different from SAP GRC Access Control?
The main difference is focus: MTC Skopos is built around remediation, not only detection. Where SAP GRC Access Control centers on detecting risk and provisioning access, MTC Skopos goes a step further and generates step-by-step remediation plans ranked by business impact, so teams can resolve SoD conflicts instead of just reporting them. It runs as a portable analyzer that returns authorization-level results in minutes. See our remediation white paper for the approach.
How long does an SAP SoD analysis take?
An SAP SoD analysis with MTC Skopos completes in minutes, not the hours or days typical of server-based GRC suites. You download the app, connect over RFC or import a CSV, run the analysis against your ruleset, and get conflict detection plus remediation recommendations in the same session.
Is MTC Skopos only for one-off SoD assessments?
No. Teams use it for one-off assessments and for recurring monthly or quarterly runs. Up to ten analyses can be compared side by side, with every conflict marked new, resolved, persisting or intermittent, and the Overview reports conflicts per user for every run so the trend stays visible. Every analysis also writes a signed execution log that auditors can verify.
What does MTC Skopos check beyond basic SoD detection?
MTC Skopos analyzes authorization objects and field values, including organizational values, not just transaction-code pairs, and checks critical access in the same pass as SoD. Paid add-ons go further: Did-Do analysis separates what a user can do from what they actually executed, simulation tests role changes before they are made, and the remediation report proposes ordered fixes weighed against real usage. Mitigation controls are recorded per user and risk, and results export to CSV, JSON or Parquet for Power BI.
