SAP compliance suite

PwC helps you streamline and modernize your SAP control environment (SOX, regulatory, operational risks) by shifting from fragmented, manual activities to integrated, automated, and intelligence-driven controls. We use SAP native capabilities, advanced continuous monitoring, and leading practices to identify automation opportunities and redesign control processes for greater efficiency, consistency, auditability, and scalability.

Our approach extends beyond traditional ERP controls to address risks across AI-enabled processes—embedding security, strengthening governance, and enabling real-time risk insights across your digital ecosystem. By increasing the proportion of automated controls—often to 60% or more—we reduce manual effort, enhance control reliability, and improve audit readiness.

We complement this with targeted health checks and maturity assessments to evaluate your current state, identify gaps, and prioritize high-impact optimization opportunities. The result is a resilient, future-ready control environment that not only reduces risk and cost but also enables your teams to focus on higher-value, strategic work while scaling innovation with confidence.

Harness the value of your SAP GRC, or similar solutions, investment focused on user management, emergency access controls, and continuous control monitoring. We extend your GRC solutions to automate access and manage risk across an increasingly complex SAP landscape, including segregation of duties and critical actions monitoring for Fiori and cloud applications. By building automated provisioning and business role design solutions, we help reduce time spent on access requests and simplify the user experience. Your organization can spend less time on administrative processes and more time focused on productive work.  We also execute detailed integrations with enterprise identity and access management solutions for full end-to-end user management automation.

PwC helps you implement and operationalize continuous monitoring across your SAP environment to enable real-time risk visibility and proactive control management. We deploy and integrate leading solutions—including SAP GRC Process Control (PC), Risk and Assurance Management (RAM), and PwC’s Enterprise Control—into a unified monitoring framework aligned to your business processes.

Our approach goes beyond tool implementation by configuring these technologies to continuously monitor configurations, detect control deviations, and flag exceptions before they escalate into material risks. We apply advanced analytics and anomaly detection to identify unusual transactions, potential fraud, and emerging risks across both ERP and AI-enabled processes.

We also embed AI agents into the control environment to augment monitoring, investigate anomalies, and trigger intelligent responses—enhancing speed, accuracy, and scalability. The result is a more resilient, intelligent control framework that shifts your organization from reactive compliance to proactive, insight-driven risk management.

Manage complex and ever-evolving trade regulations while strengthening risk oversight and operational clarity.

We comprehensively assess risks associated with your cross-border operations—including regulatory compliance with OFAC, BIS, CBP and other governing bodies, geopolitical uncertainties, supply chain disruptions, and reputational risks—and implement robust controls to prevent violations and costly penalties. Simultaneously, we identify financial opportunities such as tariff reductions, duty drawbacks, tax incentives, and optimized customs procedures to enhance your bottom line.

Collaborating with licensed trade specialists, we help you navigate the impact of changing trade policies—covering tariffs, sanctions, export controls, and trade agreements—providing clarity and actionable insights. Our risk-driven, strategic approach empowers C-suite executives with end-to-end SAP-enabled solutions, integrating thorough trade compliance within your corporate strategy and daily operations.

By proactively mitigating risks and capitalizing on financial benefits, we enable sustainable growth and resilience in an increasingly complex global trade environment.

Extend and enhance cybersecurity policies to fit the technical needs of your SAP environment. We help embed security into your SAP landscape while managing new cybersecurity risks and IT General Controls (ITGC) requirements for modern technology environments. By addressing cloud applications such as Ariba, Concur, and SuccessFactors, we help protect critical assets across your integrated technology ecosystem. Your organization can operate with greater confidence in the security of your SAP-connected systems.

As organizations expand their use of SAP, including RISE environments, gaps in infrastructure security configuration, governance, and monitoring can increase exposure to cyber threats and compliance risks outside the application itself. Misconfigured environments, excessive privileges, unmasked/unscrambled sensitive data, and limited visibility often leave critical assets vulnerable. PwC helps you secure and control SAP infrastructure by implementing robust security architecture, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring—enabling a resilient, well-governed cloud environment that protects your data and supports scalable, secure operations.

Assess and address security and control environments throughout the deal continuum. We bring SAP compliance capabilities along with proprietary, AI-enabled accelerators to help you plan and execute throughout an active transaction. By identifying risks earlier through impactful analysis and enhancing your current compliance environment, we help mitigate and monitor ongoing risks. This approach supports more confident deal decisions while helping manage the cost of compliance as your risk profile changes.

Protect and maintain your SAP investment through proactive managed services support of your compliance environment including security, controls, GRC, and global trade. We combine leading practice SAP compliance content with Enterprise Control technology and our AI-enabled agents, experienced resource capability, and proactive approach in defining the operating model ideal for each environment. This holistic, automation-enabled approach increases confidence in your SAP system and helps reduce overhead and compliance costs.
