Partner Solutions · CERPASS (SAP GRC)
SAP GRC that your team can actually manage.
Most organisations with SAP have a GRC requirement. Many also have an SAP GRC implementation that has become too complex, too expensive, or too difficult to sustain. CERPASS was built specifically to address that problem, delivering a comprehensive GRC capability that can be implemented in days and managed day to day without specialist resources.
Why we recommend CERPASS
Through our SAP advisory work we regularly encounter organisations struggling with the same GRC challenge. They have invested in SAP GRC but find it complex to maintain, dependent on specialist resources, and difficult to sustain as an ongoing operation. In some cases organisations have lost confidence in the outputs altogether and reverted to manual controls, which introduces its own risks.
CERPASS takes a different approach. Built by SAP security and GRC specialists who saw this pattern repeatedly across complex environments, it is designed to be usable by the teams responsible for compliance day to day, not just by specialist consultants. That combination of practical capability and accessible design is what sets it apart from traditional SAP GRC tooling.
Precipio recommends CERPASS where we find clients who need a more practical, cost-effective approach to SAP access risk and compliance management. We are transparent that we are a CERPASS sales partner. That commercial relationship does not change our assessment. We recommend CERPASS because we have seen what it delivers for organisations like yours.
What CERPASS does
SAP access risk management
Automated, real-time visibility of access risks across your SAP environment. Customisable dashboards for operational, executive, and board-level reporting so the right people can see the right information without manual extraction.
Segregation of duties analysis
Built on an access rule set developed through years of proven experience in SAP security design and risk management. CERPASS makes SoD analysis straightforward rather than a specialist exercise.
User access reviews
Automated workflows replace the spreadsheet-based review process that most organisations rely on. What typically takes months of chasing role owners across the business becomes a streamlined, manageable exercise.
Continuous access monitoring
Rather than point-in-time reviews, CERPASS monitors access on an ongoing basis. By the time the annual review arrives, the access landscape is already in good shape and the review becomes a confirmation rather than a remediation exercise.
Audit readiness
All control reports in one place, available at any time. When auditors arrive, the information they need is ready without additional data extraction or manual compilation.
Change simulation
The ability to simulate the impact of a role or access change before making it in SAP, rather than discovering the consequences after the fact. A significant time and risk reduction for teams managing ongoing role changes and user movements.
What organisations have achieved
Australian utilities organisation · 500 SAP users
From manual and invisible to audit ready in months
This organisation's compliance controls were entirely manual. When audit time arrived, pulling together the information required was slow and painful, and they could not clearly see where their access risks actually sat. After implementing CERPASS, the team had immediate insight into their risk position through intuitive dashboards. Within three months they underwent an external audit. What had previously been a manual, time-consuming exercise became straightforward, with all control reports in one place." · Key stats on separate lines: 50% reduction in SAP access risk within six months · Weeks from go-live to audit-ready visibility · All audit reports in one place without additional extraction

Annual review time cut by two thirds
This organisation was managing its annual user access review through spreadsheets distributed to role owners across the business. The process was taking three months to complete with limited engagement from role owners. After implementing CERPASS, continuous monitoring throughout the year meant that access was actively managed on an ongoing basis, not just at audit time. Over 55,000 role assignments were reviewed. Of those, only nine required reinstatement after removals were performed." · Key stats on separate lines: 55,000+ role assignments reviewed · 9 required reinstatement after review · 3x faster annual review cycle completion
