As SAP landscapes grow more complex, staying compliant with evolving regulations is non-negotiable. Whether it’s SOX, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR, or internal policies, compliance in SAP isn’t following rules; it’s about protecting your business from risk, disruption, and audit pain.
For SAP teams, that’s easier said than done. Maintaining compliance has never been more challenging with hybrid SAP environments (on-premises and Cloud) growing rapidly, faster release cycles, and increasing regulatory pressure. Many organizations still rely on manual processes like spreadsheets and email, which leave too much room for error.
Why SAP compliance is so hard to maintain
At its core, SAP compliance means every change is safe, authorized, traceable, and aligned with both external regulations and internal policies. That requires controls over who can do what, clear audit trails, and enforced processes from development to deployment. Managing these requirements is where automation steps in.
Without automation, common compliance pitfalls creep in:
- No enforced approval steps
- No clear audit trail for who changed what, when, and why
- Lack of Separation of Duties (SoD)
- Risk-prone manual processes like chasing emails for approvals
The result? Unplanned downtime, unauthorized changes, audit failures, and even multi-million dollar penalties.
