Need of SoD Analysis & Remediation

Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts remain one of the most common—and most cited—control weaknesses in SAP environments. As SAP landscapes grow across ECC, S/4HANA, and cloud systems, unmanaged SoD risks increase audit exposure, operational disruption, and compliance pressure.

ToggleNow provides expert-led SoD analysis and remediation services that help enterprises identify, rationalize, and resolve SoD conflicts using SAP-native capabilities, proven rule frameworks, and governance-driven remediation models—without disrupting business operations.

The challenge - Why SoD Management Breaks Down in SAP Landscapes

Most enterprises already use SAP GRC or basic SoD checks, yet still face:

  • Overly aggressive or outdated SoD rules
  • High volumes of false positives
  • Manual conflict analysis and remediation
  • Inconsistent mitigation strategies
  • Recurring audit observations despite tools in place

The challenge is rarely the absence of controls—it’s the lack of optimization, contextualization, and governance.

Our SoD Services

Optimizing SAP GRC Access Risk Analysis Rulesets

A standard, stock-ready ruleset is an essential starting point for SAP SoD analysis-but in practice, nearly 8 out of 10 organizations use it without customization. Over time, this leads to misaligned risks, excessive false positives, and remediation fatigue. Few organizations formally validate whether the rules truly reflect their business processes, incorporate risks from custom transaction codes, recalibrate risk severity levels, or eliminate conflicts that no longer represent real exposure.

ToggleNow helps organizations systematically review and optimize their existing SAP GRC Access Risk Analysis (ARA) rulesets to ensure they are:

  • Aligned with actual business processes and operating models
  • Relevant to the current SAP ECC and S/4HANA landscape
  • Free from redundant, obsolete, or non-applicable risks

Calibrated to significantly reduce false positives without weakening controls.This optimization materially improves the accuracy and credibility of SoD analysis, enabling focused remediation efforts and measurable reduction in audit and compliance overhead.

Customizing SoD Rulesets for Business Reality

Standard SAP rulesets often do not reflect how organizations actually operate. We help design and customize SoD rulesets by:

  • Incorporating organization-specific business scenarios
  • Aligning Rulesets as per the auditor requirements
  • Adjusting risk definitions based on operational context
  • Aligning rules to custom transactions, Z-programs, and Fiori apps
  • Ensuring compatibility with audit and regulatory expectations

The result is a context-aware ruleset that identifies real risk not noise.

SoD Analyzer FAQ
A SoD (Segregation of Duties) analyzer is used to identify conflicting access combinations in SAP systems that may allow users to perform incompatible activities, increasing fraud and compliance risk.
Enterprises typically use a combination of SAP-native capabilities and third-party SoD analysis tools to identify segregation of duties conflicts. Among these, SAP GRC Access Control is the most widely adopted enterprise solution, offering built-in access risk analysis, workflows, and audit traceability. In addition, organizations may leverage other specialized SoD analyzers or internal reporting approaches based on their landscape, scale, and governance maturity. The effectiveness of any SoD analyzer ultimately depends on how well rulesets are optimized, risks are contextualized, and remediation is governed.
SoD analysis evaluates user roles, authorizations, and transactions against predefined risk rules to detect conflicts across SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and hybrid landscapes.
False positives occur when generic or outdated SoD rules are applied without business context, custom transactions, or role design considerations—leading to excessive, non-actionable conflicts.
SoD rules can be optimized by aligning them to real business processes, customizing risk definitions, excluding irrelevant combinations, and differentiating preventive versus detective risks.
SoD remediation involves resolving identified conflicts through role redesign, access removal, mitigation controls, or risk acceptance—ensuring conflicts are addressed in an audit-defensible manner.
Yes. SoD analysis can be performed using SAP-native authorization data and reporting. However, SAP GRC provides structured workflows, risk management, and audit traceability for enterprise-scale governance.
SoD analysis should be conducted continuously or at regular intervals—especially during access changes, role modifications, periodic access reviews, and before audits.
Preventive controls block conflicting access upfront, while detective controls identify conflicts after access is granted and rely on monitoring and mitigation to manage risk.
Effective SoD analysis helps demonstrate control effectiveness, reduces audit findings, and provides documented evidence for SOX, internal audits, and regulatory compliance.
By maintaining optimized rulesets, documented remediation decisions, clear ownership, and consistent evidence—SoD analysis becomes defensible during internal and external audits.
