compliance

In a business, a company should manage a variety of business aspects involving legality, too. Business activities must always oblige legal procedures to prevent disputes between the people affected, such as financing, real estate, contracts, etc. In this case, it is not surprising that corporate lawyers consequently play an essential role in a business entity. Companies do not only focus on seeking the corporate lawyers’ advice but also use them as permanent members to act as part of the legal counsel. Thus, corporate lawyers work to resolve various business issues, and it includes compliance audits.

With increasingly stringent compliance laws set in place by the government, companies are also becoming strict with their security policies and coverages. Of course, you need to be able to present the necessary compliance requirements for you to pass the audit. The constant request for higher standards of quality and value-based performance will impact the qualitative and prudent compliance methods responsible for ensuring the safety of the entire vendor environment.

For these cases, the government relies on the SAP system. This practice has numerous reporting applications and ABAP/4 programs that present comprehensive assessment and supervise the SAP security arrangement for SAP audit compliance. In this case, the supervising reports have two methods to execute through different transactions. Learn further about each SAP role and how to supervise them for audit compliance.

Monthly RSPARAM Frequency Report

The goal of each system is to estimate crucial parameters related to the security of the system profile. This report should configure the parameter values based on the recommendations of the SAP Security Administration Standard Operating Procedures created by the company. Also, the configurated setting should be set continuously for multiple SAP systems. 

Bi-Weekly RSUSR040 Frequency Reports

In this report, the objective relies on security access monitoring. The company should restrict the security access properly to the security team members and follow the Policies and Procedures that define them. Therefore, review users who have access to the S_USER_GRP, S_USER_AUT, and S_USER_PRO approval products. In this case, the Basis and Security Administration Teams are those who have access to these objects. The Basis team should have view-only accessibility and reset password ability for all user groups except SUPER and Security. This availability allows users to access system management functions. 

Monthly RSUSR010 Frequency Reports

The goal of this report is to ensure that access to secure transactions is adequately protected. Thus, this report focuses more on transactional access to security administration. Try to control the ease of access to security management. When working on RSUSR010 reports, it is necessary to check the SU01, SU02, SU03, SU05, and PFCG transactions. They control access for the relevant profile, consumer management, profile management, permission management, and web consumer management. If you find that people who are not part of security administration have access to the transaction, this should raise a red flag. 

Monthly RSUSPR040 Frequency Reports

This report helps to ensure that the configuration of the table access is properly correct. In this case, coordinate the table maintenance access with the Basis team. The table availability should match the ability to make adjustments. Check users who have table access for both client-dependent and -independent tables access. The client-independent table should be limited to sandbox and configuration master clients.

Monthly RSUSR002 Frequency Reports

The goal of this report is to ensure that all clients are in the ideal user group. In this case, control the users defined for most clients and systems. It is crucial to assign each user to a valid and pre-approved user group. Check which consumers are at the basic security and help desk.
