Soterion and Komatsu

The Challenge
Komatsu had a service provider that sent them their SAP access risk results in a spreadsheet.

The Solution
The Soterion process is so simple. They use the Soterion Data Extractor to extract the relevant data from SAP. Soterion provides them with their logon credentials for their hosted database. Komatsu can view the results of the SAP access risk assessment in user-friendly web application instead of trying to navigate through this information in spreadsheet.

Visibility
Soterion allows Komatsu to see which users have risk violations against their own access risk rule set. Coupled with this, the user’s risk is displayed in relation to whether the user has used this access or not.

Customised
Soterion allows Komatsu to import their own risk rule set. This allows them to focus on risks that are relevant to their business, as well as grade them in terms of their perceived risk level.

Cost Saving
Soterion enables Komastu to run the risk assessment at minimal cost on demand, they feel they can now reduce the number of assessments to a couple times per annum.
"Soterion gives us great visibility not only into our SAP access risk exposure, but also highlights the user’s redundant access."
