Case Study: GRC 20/20 achieves efficient SoD and access management with ERP Maestro

A Global Security & Asset Protection Organization’s Approach to Access Management

GRC 20/20 documented a case where a global security and asset protection organization was struggling with manual SAP access control and segregation-of-duties (SoD) testing—processes that consumed about 732 hours and $121,200 per SAP instance per audit cycle, were error-prone, and didn’t provide continuous coverage. Facing tight audit timelines and high costs for traditional on‑premise solutions, the organization evaluated options and turned to ERP Maestro’s online subscription service (Access Analyzer) to meet its needs quickly and affordably.

ERP Maestro delivered a SaaS implementation in hours, automating access control and enabling 100% user, role and SoD coverage where only samples had been tested before. GRC 20/20 verified measurable impact: processing that once took 732 hours now completes in about 1 hour, the subscription (~$47,200/year) yielded net annual recurring savings of roughly $74,000 per SAP instance, reduced external audit retesting costs (~$50,000/year), and avoided large implementation costs of alternative solutions—results that earned ERP Maestro a GRC Value Award.
