Sunera Launches Pre-Configured SAP Role Design Toolkit

Tampa, FL, February 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Sunera (www.sunera.com), a multinational provider of business and technology risk consulting, would like to announce that it has developed a unique methodology for implementing SAP security roles which meets the rigorous compliance requirements organizations face today. The methodology was developed using Sunera’s extensive SAP security and role design experience. This role design methodology is designed to significantly reduce the cost of developing and maintaining a compliant SAP role design by shortening the development and implementation cycle. Additionally, it reduces ongoing support efforts related to maintaining security roles and managing user segregation of duties (SoD) issues over the life of the role design. To achieve these efficiencies, Sunera’s SAP role design methodology has a number of implementation accelerators including:

-- Pre-configured SoD free roles that generally meet 85% to 95% of an organization’s security requirements,
-- A logical naming convention that maps to key elements of GRC rule sets to facilitate efficient user SoD remediation,
-- Reporting templates developed for the BizRights and SAP GRC SoD products formatted to assist the business with user SoD remediation,
-- Pre-defined test scenarios, and
-- Templates to fast track information and requirements gathering.

In addition to the implementation accelerators, Sunera’s SAP role design methodology also includes a project plan that outlines the phases and tasks required to successfully implement a compliant SAP role design and can easily be modified to meet customer specific needs.

“Organizations have realized significant savings using Sunera’s segregated role design and implementation methodologies for both new SAP implementations and SoD remediation initiatives,” said Charles Braswell, the Director of Sunera’s SAP Security Practice.

Sunera’s SAP Security Practice specializes in designing SAP security permissions, integrating security role within the SAP environment, and assisting organizations with remediating segregation of duty violations. To inquire about Sunera’s segregated SAP role design or any of its SAP services, Mr. Braswell can be contacted by phone at (813) 731-9665 or by email at cbraswell@sunera.com.
