SAP Governance, Risk & Compliance (SAP GRC) forms the foundation for successful enterprise management by embedding risk management and compliance requirements into corporate decision-making. Since the financial crisis, constantly growing regulatory demands have increased the complexity of the compliance landscape, creating new pitfalls that can lead to costly losses.
Identity & Access Management (IAM) ensures that only the right employees can access selected data and resources at the right time. This is more important than ever, as digitalization and cloud adoption continue to grow, and organizations face increasing challenges.
SAP compliance refers to ensuring that your organization meets all applicable legal, regulatory, and internal policy requirements when operating SAP systems. This includes data privacy and protection regulations, license management, IT security standards, and industry-specific rules such as SOX, GDPR, and NIST frameworks. In this article, we break down the compliance requirements that matter most for SAP environments, explain how compliance strengthens IT security, outline the consequences of non-compliance, and show how Xiting helps you minimize risk and meet your obligations efficiently.
The browser-based design and application concept SAP Fiori was redesigned in 2019 with the goal of making work with SAP software as simple, efficient, and enjoyable as possible. With its intuitive interface and consistent design principles, SAP Fiori takes usability and productivity to a new level. SAP Fiori 3.0 replaces complex legacy interfaces with a clean, modern, and user-friendly design. Its focus is on standardizing and personalizing the user experience across all SAP applications.
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations running SAP must be prepared to address exceptions and emergencies swiftly and compliantly.

Discover how to enhance your SAP security and operational efficiency by implementing a structured Firefighter concept tailored to your organization's needs. Read on to learn more!
The SAP Identity Provisioning Service (IPS) provisions identities and authorization rights across your cloud and on-premise applications. This allows you to maintain a unified identity for accessing all systems, even in a hybrid environment, and strengthen your overall security posture. SAP IPS automates the management of user accounts and transforms data across different systems, eliminating the need for manual transfers. In this article, you will learn how SAP Identity Provisioning can optimize your SAP landscape.
SAP Single Sign-On (SSO) reduces password chaos and the associated security and productivity losses – but how? In this guide, you'll learn what SAP SSO is, how it works, and how you can integrate it into your SAP system.
SAP licensing is a complex topic for many organizations – and the transition to SAP S/4HANA brings additional challenges. However, the migration also offers an opportunity to optimize your existing license inventory and reduce SAP license costs.
Segregation of duties (SoD) in SAP is a core principle designed to distribute critical business functions across multiple individuals, preventing fraud, errors, and compliance violations. In applications like SAP, specific authorizations are required to execute individual process steps.
