Our client's needs exist from the start of a new implementation project, right through go-live and into regular risk monitoring and remediation.
Beyond that, business changes such as mergers and acquisitions occur, and su53 offers services to supplement a project dealing with those scenarios.
Business justification for a security project often seems obvious, but needs to be articulated in a way that the approving body can assess the benefits of doing it, against the risks of not doing it. su53 has developed a business case modeller to help in that approval process.
An entire project thread for security and authorization management should exist in a new SAP implementation project plan. su53 Solutions is happy to work with an incumbent Implementation Partner to ensure that security is achieved correctly the first time – too often a go-live is followed by an emergency role review three months later, because it was not given due consideration during the project.

One of su53’s aims is to increase the efficiency and reduce the effort (and subsequently costs) associated with ensuring compliance in our clients’ SAP environments.
We have developed an upgrade methodology, including accelerators, that hastens technical upgrades (currently to Access Control v5.3 and Process Control v3).
In addition, su53 has developed a toolkit that is a series of utilities, reports and tools. The su53 Toolbox is not at present subject to formal software production, distribution, documentation and maintenance, so is not suited as a Client offering by itself, but is offered as an enabler to a wider service. The Toolbox ensures:
- Minimum disruption to the Client through minimising manual investigation
- Improved quality of analysis and reporting through automation
- Reduced cost of risk review analysis and reporting
- Enables cost-effective regular remote security reporting analyses

su53 Solutions GRC Process Control Overview
su53 Solutions wants to help its clients to exist in an environment where risk is managed efficiently and effectively. This means that risks must be identified, and then a plan put in place to mitigate them – and the plan must be executed.
All of this can be easily managed by su53 Solutions and the expert services that it provides. Of special interest to most clients are the pre-audit review, and the audit remediation services.
Clients who have outsourced their systems management to third parties have an additional security dimension to manage: third party access controls and third party process controls are often omitted from risk management plans. This in itself should be considered a risk that needs to be assessed and controlled.
