Case Study: Ingevity achieves SOX compliance and automated emergency access management with ERP Maestro

Global Chemical Company, Ingevity, Achieves Compliance by Automating Emergency Access Management

Ingevity, a global specialty chemicals manufacturer recently spun off as a public company, faced the challenge of building GRC and access controls from scratch while meeting Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. With a cloud-first strategy, a one-person SAP security team, and priorities around reimplementation cost and speed, Ingevity sought a SaaS solution to automate elevated access and reduce manual risk exposure — and selected ERP Maestro for emergency access management.

ERP Maestro implemented its cloud-based Emergency Access Management (plus Access Analyzer role remediation), automating the full request/approve/grant/revoke workflow, providing detailed audit trails and activity-level change visibility. As a result, Ingevity achieved rapid time-to-value (deployment in under a month), executed over 600 secure emergency account checkouts, and removed more than 3,000 conflicting or unused roles, while benefiting from lower total cost of ownership as a subscription SaaS with demonstrable compliance improvements.
