SAP environments, especially in the age of cloud work and hybrid infrastructures, are ripe with security complications. But SAP support and security is nothing to scoff at. Access controls alone in SAP environments require compliance capabilities for ultimate security, regardless of the security solution or deployment scenario.
Managing risks to protect such an environment is no longer just a nice-to-have; it’s a critical requirement that needs more than just Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).
A hardened security posture with built-in threat detection and Privileged Access Management (PAM) are now the bare minimum for every organization.
Secure SAP environments with One Identity Manager
The goal is now to go beyond traditional access controls and identity management in all security facets – but especially where SAP environments are involved.
Recognized as an Overall Leader, Product Leader, Innovation Leader and Market Leader in the KuppingerCole 2026 Leadership Compass for SAP Access Control and Security, One Identity Manager is purpose-built to meet exactly these demands.
Cross-platform, inter-system support
Not only can it assess entitlements by request or automatically, but its Universal Cloud Interface also offers rich support for SAP systems like ECC, S/4HANA and cloud applications like SuccessFactors and Ariba.
The cross-platform features empower organizations to monitor, secure and satisfy compliance for SAP environments no matter what app and system.
Administrators can also leverage certified SAP risk rule sets through the One Identity integration with IBS Schreiber, a specialist partner for SAP critical entitlements and Segregation of Duties (SoD) rules.
SAP and non-SAP system governance
One Identity Manager security and access controls aren’t confined to integration with just SAP infrastructures. Its full visibility, auditing abilities and access management facilitate comprehensive governance with extensive risk analysis from every access point, whether SAP-based or not.
How?
Through the Privileged Access Governance (PAG) module, One Identity Manager connects directly to One Identity Safeguard to bring privileged access management (PAM) into the same identity governance workflow — protecting privileged credentials and defending against their misuse without leaving the Identity Manager environment.
This extensive integration and support goes well beyond securing just SAP platforms, extending to key line of business applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite, Salesforce and more.
Conclusion
The cost of getting SAP security wrong — a compliance failure, a breach, an audit finding — far outweighs the investment in getting it right. One Identity Manager gives organizations a single, integrated platform to govern access, manage privileged risk, and satisfy compliance across their entire SAP landscape and beyond, turning what was once a liability into a business strength.
