Risk: Articles & Insights

Payroll postings, treasury transactions, executive compensation - some G/L accounts need tighter access control. Here's how to configure authorization groups with F_BKPF_BES and F_BKPF_BLA in SAP S/4HANA, step by step.

Exploiting SAP used to require both system access and years of domain expertise. AI collapses that second requirement. An attacker with a basic SAP login and a language model can now navigate the system, understand authorization structures, and find exploitation paths that previously took specialists weeks to uncover. What does that mean for how you manage access risk?

A guide to building an accounts payable segregation of duties matrix for SAP, with specific transaction codes, authorization objects, and common AP SoD conflicts.

A technical reference for SAP SoD conflicts: specific transaction code combinations, authorization objects that drive conflicts, and practical detection methods for SAP ECC and S/4HANA.

Traditional SoD analysis identifies who has conflicting access. Did-Do analysis answers the critical follow-up question: Did users with risky access actually make changes? This evidence-based access violation monitoring approach transforms compliance from theoretical to actionable.

Your ECC SoD matrix won't work in S/4HANA. Learn how to build a ruleset that covers Fiori apps, OData services, and the new authorization architecture - without starting from scratch.

A complete guide to building and maintaining your SAP Segregation of Duties matrix, with a free downloadable Excel (XLS) template and best practices for automation.

An access risk report documents the access risks in an ERP landscape — SoD violations, critical access, and over-privileged users — plus recommended remediation. MTC Skopos delivers the underlying risk data as structured models ready for Power BI, Tableau, or any BI tool, so your access risk report reflects your priorities rather than a vendor's fixed template.
