KPS Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Check-Up, Optimise & Continuous Support
Organisations using SAP face increasing complexity in maintaining security, compliance, and efficiency. KPS GRC Services help you establish a transparent, risk-free, and optimised SAP environment – ensuring compliance, reducing costs, and preparing for audits or S/4HANA transformation with confidence.
Understanding GRC Essentials
Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
helps organizations protect their SAP systems, reduce business risk, and meet regulatory requirements with confidence.
Full User Equivalent (FUE)
a licensing model used in SAP S/4HANA that converts different types of users into a single licensing unit called FUE.
Segregation of Duties (SoD)
is a fundamental control in SAP GRC that prevents fraud and errors by ensuring no single user can perform conflicting tasks (such as creating and approving payments).
Tackle hidden risks and costly inefficiencies in your SAP system
We help you stay secure, compliant, and cost-efficient.
Many companies struggle with outdated authorisation structures, manual GRC processes, and unclear user roles. These challenges lead to increased audit risks, high licensing costs, and compliance gaps.
As regulations evolve and SAP landscapes scale, organisations need a partner who can align governance and efficiency without slowing business operations.
