Forward-Deployed AI Engineering for SAP Security and GRC
Own the outcome of your SAP security and GRC.
We embed SAP Security and GRC subject matter experts in your landscape to deploy, operate, and transform your controls. People, process, and platform, powered by AI, with clear accountability for the result.
Forward-Deployed Engineering (FDE) is a delivery model in which specialists embed directly in your environment to build, run, and improve a capability, rather than advising and leaving. Forward-Deployed AI Engineering applies this model with AI-enabled tooling. ToggleNow delivers FDE for the SAP landscape.
Who This Is For
Built for two situations
Most organizations lose SAP GRC value in one of two ways. In both, the constraint is ownership, not technology.
Situation 01
GRC that never reached its potential
You implemented SAP GRC modules such as SAP Access Control and SAP Process Control, but risk analysis is stale, remediation stalls, and control reviews go unread. The investment sits on the books. The assurance does not.
Situation 02
A controls agenda with no clear path
You are moving to S/4HANA or formalizing controls, and you need a roadmap: which modules, which risks, in which sequence. Internally, no one owns that decision, so it continues to slip.
Different starting points, the same gap. The issue is people and process, above all ownership. No one owns SAP GRC end to end, from the risk it should detect to the control that evidences it. Forward-Deployed AI Engineering provides that ownership inside your landscape.
The FDE Model
Two starting points. One ownership engine. Measurable outcomes.
How We Engage
Embedded from assessment to outcome
01 · Assess & own
Establish the real state
Our subject matter experts work inside your landscape with your security, GRC, and basis teams to confirm current state, target controls, and the blockers between intent and production.
02 · Deploy & operate
Stand it up, then run it
We configure and integrate the platform to your environment, ruleset and risk content, connectivity, controller workflows, and the path to production, then operate it as a managed capability.
03 · Transform
Improve as you evolve
As your landscape changes, we extend coverage, tune controls, and apply automation so assurance strengthens over time rather than decaying after go-live.

Ownership, not advice
We deploy a capability and own the outcome. The operating model holds after go-live because it lives in people and process, not only software.

Audit-ready assurance
Each engagement leaves reusable assets behind: risk content, connectors, operating playbooks. Delivery accelerates with every deployment.
Outcomes

Frequently asked questions about Forward-Deployed Engineering
What is Forward-Deployed Engineering (FDE)?
Forward-Deployed Engineering (FDE) is a delivery model in which specialists embed directly in a client’s environment to build, run, and improve a capability on the provider’s platform, rather than advising and handing over documentation.
