Overview
Saviynt's Application Access Governance (AAG) is a module of Saviynt Identity Cloud that manages segregation-of-duties (SoD) risk, access certification and compliance across SAP, Oracle, Workday, Salesforce and other cloud and on-premises applications from a single platform. It is positioned against SAP GRC and similar SAP-only tools by extending governance beyond a single ERP.
The product ships with pre-built, application-specific SoD rulesets and uses AI to detect anomalies and generate predictive risk scores for access requests, aiming to catch violations before they occur rather than only after the fact. It also provides real-time access dashboards, drill-down entitlement visibility, automated access certification campaigns, emergency/temporary access provisioning with session monitoring, and license optimization and cost-analysis tooling.
Saviynt AAG sits alongside the vendor's broader Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) products, so SAP access risk management can be run from the same Identity Cloud console used for enterprise-wide identity governance.
