In Deployment

Security and IAM decisions made during implementation define your go-live risk posture for years. Most programmes address them too late — after design is locked and vendors are already building.

sapcyberx delivers five pre-built accelerators that plug directly into your programme. Ready before your functional workshops start. Months of design effort — already done.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE

300 SoD-free SAP roles. Ready before functional workshops began.

For a recent S/4HANA RISE greenfield implementation, sapcyberx delivered 300 SAP best-practice business roles — fully SoD-free and aligned to the customer's process architecture — before the functional design workshops started. The roles were handed to the business and functional teams as a ready-to-engage workbook, including Fiori Spaces, Pages and Sections pre-mapped. Design effort that would have taken the programme four months was delivered as a plug-and-play accelerator.

Based on actual customer engagement, organisation and industry anonymised.

DEPLOYMENT ACCELERATORS

Five accelerators. Plug directly into your programme.

Every accelerator is pre-built and customised to your landscape. Not a template — a working deliverable your programme team can use immediately.

01
PRE-GO-LIVE PEN TEST

SAP Penetration Test

A structured adversarial test of your SAP environment before production cutover. 7-day standard RISE scope. 14-day extended scope for infrastructure, integrations and AI surface. Risk-ranked report and remediation roadmap delivered with enough lead time to close critical findings before go-live — without impacting your UAT cycle or project activities.

27 critical and high findings closed pre-cutover in a recent engagement. Zero UAT impact.

ARCHITECTURE

SAP Cyber Architecture Document

A pre-built SAP cyber architecture document customised to your RISE landscape. Covers every security domain — application, identity, network, infrastructure, integration and AI — with SAP best-practice controls and enterprise cyber framework alignment baked in. Delivered as a living document your internal security and SAP teams can own and maintain post go-live.

IDENTITY

Identity Architecture — Corporate IDAM to SAP

Most SAP identity implementations are designed in isolation from the enterprise identity architecture. We bridge both. Our identity architecture accelerator covers the full end-to-end stack: Active Directory and Entra ID, IAS, IPS, IAG, SAML and OIDC federation, MFA enforcement, provisioning design and the corporate-to-SAP identity trust chain. Aligned to your existing corporate IDAM — not designed around SAP defaults.

ROLE DESIGN

RBAC Role Security Design Matrix — SoD-Free, Fiori UX Embedded

Our RBAC accelerator delivers SAP best-practice business roles — fully SoD-free and aligned to your process architecture — before your functional design workshops start. Each role is mapped to the relevant S/4HANA and cloud product, aligned to your Signavio or process modelling tool, and delivered with Fiori Spaces, Pages and Sections pre-configured.

Your business and functional teams receive a ready-to-engage workbook. Not a starting point — a working design they can validate and confirm rather than build from scratch. Four months of role design effort, already done.

Security & IAM Cutover Runsheet

A pre-built, end-to-end security and IAM cutover runsheet covering every production and non-production cutover activity. Every task sequenced, owned and dependency-mapped — from pre-cutover security validation through to hypercare support model activation.
