Overview
SailPoint Access Risk Management (ARM) is an add-on to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud that analyzes segregation-of-duties (SoD) and access risk within SAP ECC, S/4HANA and Fiori environments, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or under SAP RISE. It performs analysis down to the transaction code and authorization object level rather than only at the role level.
The product can simulate proposed access changes before they are applied to prevent violations, monitor for excessive, outdated or unused access, and provide emergency access workflows for SAP. KPI-driven dashboards give auditors and application owners visibility into SoD risk, and the module natively integrates with Identity Security Cloud so SAP access requests and certifications are managed alongside every other application in an organization's identity program.
SailPoint also offers general cross-application SoD policy management (independent of the SAP-specific ARM add-on) for detecting conflicts of interest and enforcing policies across connected systems, supporting SOX, GDPR, HIPAA and CCPA compliance programs.

Strengths & considerations
Strengths

- Analyzes SoD risk down to the SAP authorization-object level, not just the transaction-code level
- Backed by SailPoint's large existing IGA customer base and connector ecosystem
