#1 GRC Platform for Your S/4HANA Migration

Most S/4HANA migrations inherit their ECC security problems and discover them post-go-live. Pathlock eliminates that cycle — whether you’re planning, mid-migration, or already live.

Confront Hidden Costs and Risks

S/4HANA isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a new system with a fundamentally different access model. This transformation routinely triggers role sprawl, inherited SoD violations, underutilized licenses, and fragmented GRC environments. Without governance built in from day one, risk compounds silently — and surfaces in your first post-go-live audit. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Companies spend up to $2M in hidden costs from manual processes and consulting fees during and after an S/4HANA migration. Based on Pathlock’s analysis of customer deployments.

Pathlock in Action

Explore the Capabilities That Matter Most for S/4HANA

Fully self-guided, in-browser product tours. Start in under 60 seconds. No deployment required.

Analyze Access Risks and SoD Violations

Get a clear view of every real SoD conflict across your applications — not just theoretical violations — and know exactly where to focus remediation before it becomes an audit finding.

In-Browser Tour

Automate Compliant User Provisioning

Evaluate every access request against your risk rules before approval — no manual checks, no SoD conflicts quietly granted during the chaos of go-live.

In-Browser Tour

Accelerate Risk-Aware Access Certifications

Review user access with usage data and risk context already built in — so every certification decision is informed, defensible, and audit-ready without last-minute scrambling.

In-Browser Tour

Control Privileged Access with Confidence

Time-bound elevated access, log every privileged action, and ensure nothing granted during migration quietly persists as a standing privilege after go-live.

In-Browser Tour

Proactively Manage Roles and Reduce Risk

AI-powered role mapping translates your existing access to S/4HANA's new authorization model, surfaces inherited conflicts before they're provisioned, and gives you a role design you can defend on day one.

Identify and Resolve Control Exceptions

Route every control exception to the right owner, track remediation in one place, and hand auditors a complete evidence trail without assembling it manually under pressure.

In-Browser Tour

Dynamically Control and Secure Access to SAP Data


Mask and restrict sensitive SAP data at the field level — so users see only what their role should allow, even when role design is still a work in progress.

In-Browser Tour

Detect and Respond to Threats at Scale

Get real-time visibility into unusual logins, privilege escalations, and critical data access across your SAP environment — and respond before a suspicious activity becomes an incident report.
