SAP S/4HANA Migration Governance Pack

Make SAP Security Governance go-live ready — before risks become audit findings.

Assess the maturity and effectiveness of your SAP Security organization, IAM governance, documented controls and technical implementation. The result is a clear baseline compliance picture with prioritized measures for S/4HANA go-live readiness.

For SAP Security, IAM, Internal Audit, Compliance, Program Leadership and 3 Lines of Defense stakeholders.

Go-Live Baseline Readiness

A structured view across policies, IAM processes, responsibilities, documented controls and technical implementation.

Policies & Standards

Maturity and completeness of SAP security policies, standards and concepts.

IAM Process Control

Joiner, mover, leaver, approval and review processes mapped to operational accountability.

Output: Baseline gap picture, prioritized go-live actions and management-ready implications.

Maturity Scorecard

Clear assessment of policies, processes, organization, concepts and technical implementation.

3 Lines of Defense

Responsibilities and control ownership reviewed across business, risk/compliance and audit perspectives.

Baseline Gap View

Structured deviations against best practice and go-live compliance expectations.

Action Roadmap

Prioritized measures that show what must be fixed before go-live and what can follow later.

S/4HANA migrations expose governance gaps that daily operations can hide.

During migration, fragmented policies, unclear IAM responsibilities, weak control documentation and unverified technical implementation become program risks. Audit, compliance and security teams need one consolidated view before go-live decisions are made.

The pack creates transparency: where the SAP security organization is mature, where control ownership is unclear and which actions are required to reach a defensible baseline compliance level.

Unclear ownership

Roles and responsibilities are often documented inconsistently across SAP Security, IAM, business process owners and audit.

Control evidence gaps

General IT controls and process-risk documentation may exist, but not in a migration-ready governance picture.

Late remediation pressure

Without prioritization, teams discover critical governance weaknesses too close to go-live.

The core value: governance clarity that is actionable before go-live.

Instead of producing another generic audit checklist, the assessment connects SAP Security governance, IAM processes, documented controls and technical implementation into one prioritized baseline.

What you receive.

A management-ready result set designed to support decision-making, remediation planning and alignment between SAP Security, IAM, compliance and migration leadership.

01 — Maturity assessment
SAP Security & IAM organization across policies, processes, organization, concepts and technical implementation.

02 — Consolidated gap picture
Best-practice deviations, security weaknesses and compliance-relevant gaps structured by impact.

03 — Prioritized recommendations
Go-live focused measures to improve governance structures, control reliability and operational accountability.

04 — Management summary & workshop
Executive implications, key findings and alignment on next steps in a dedicated result workshop.

Three moments where the pack creates business value.

Before S/4HANA go-live

Validate whether SAP Security governance is strong enough to support a controlled production start.

Before audit or control testing

Create a defensible evidence base for policies, IAM processes, ownership and documented general IT controls.

When responsibilities are unclear

Align SAP Security, IAM, business process owners, compliance and internal audit around the same control picture.

From scope to go-live action plan.

A compact assessment workflow that keeps stakeholders aligned and turns governance observations into decisions.

01. Scope

Define organization and process scope, stakeholders, contacts and timeline.

02. Governance Review

Review documents, processes and controls; run interviews or workshops where evidence needs clarification.

03. Prioritize

Create the baseline gap picture and translate findings into go-live focused actions.

Frequently asked questions.

Not only. The pack focuses on organization, processes, policies, IAM governance, documented controls and their connection to technical implementation.
Most teams use it before S/4HANA go-live, before an audit, or when migration leadership needs a transparent view of SAP Security governance readiness.
Key findings, organizational implications, prioritized actions and the next steps required to reach a reliable baseline compliance level.
