In search of a fast, low-impact way to address SoD violations in SAP, Scapa turned to Pathlock and achieved results within days.
Fast-Tracking SoD Compliance Without Touching SAP
Scapa recognized the need for a more effective way to manage SoD risks, particularly in the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes, but was discouraged by the market’s typical solutions: most required deep SAP expertise, long integration timelines, or intrusive changes to their SAP landscape. Scapa needed immediate insights, minimal disruption, and a solution that wouldn’t overload their system or budget.
That’s when they discovered Pathlock’s Access Governance solution.
Unlike traditional tools, Pathlock runs externally to SAP, requires no consultants, and is fully operational in just days. With no impact on SAP performance or configuration, Scapa found the ideal solution to get control fast without complexity.
Live in Two Days, Monitoring in Real Time
After a brief implementation and training period of just two days, Pathlock was up and running. Immediately, Scapa received a comprehensive report highlighting their existing SoD violations.
Within weeks, the system was continuously monitoring user activity and flagging new SoD violations and risky behaviors. Scapa could now see:
- Who runs what transactions
- Who never logs in
- Which users have irregular access patterns
- Where risk concentrations appear
With these insights, Scapa enforced SoD controls more effectively and proactively managed user behavior across the business.
Results That Support Both Audits and Operations
By implementing Pathlock’s Access Governance solution, Scapa gained control over its Segregation of Duties (SoD) and enhanced its security and audit readiness. The solution provided real-time monitoring of user activity, enabling Scapa to detect SoD violations and high-risk actions.
With clear visibility into user behavior, the team refined security protocols and improved user training. This approach not only bolstered operational control but also prepared the team for audits with detailed reports on user activity. Ultimately, the solution helped Scapa safeguard its SAP investment while fostering a security-first culture.
“Choosing Pathlock’s solution has proven to be an excellent decision. We now maintain full control over Segregation of Duties, locate sensitive accounts, and track the exact user and time of access. Pathlock listens to customers and incorporates our ideas into the product.”
