ZETA – SAP Emergency Transaction Access

ZETA is a unique SAP add-on that automates the process for preauthorised SAP users to obtain a higher level of access temporarily. During this period of elevated access, the user’s activities are closely monitored for auditing purposes, without increasing pressure on IT resources.

The solution delivers a secure and reliable SAP access system for users for a defined period of time. ZETA reduces the lengthy process of manual approvals while ensuring effective risk management with the ability to audit access on an individual user basis.

Priced from £5000, ZETA provides users with a reliable channel of access without compromising operations. Rapid installation means your organisation can experience the benefits in a matter of days.

What do ZETA users say?

“ZETA has definitely reduced the day to day workload of our authorisations team by reducing calls requesting access. Users are now enabled to request the necessary access automatically, yet giving the team confidence that this is only according to what Toyota has preconfigured for them. A real strength of ZETA is the audit tracking email providing managers with the ability to review what the requestor had done on SAP with that additional access.”

Carey White, Senior Manager – Information Security, Toyota South Africa Motors (Pty) Ltd

Key features:

  • Supports users’ requests for increased system access (limited to what the security team has configured) for a specific duration in order to perform the tasks they need.
  • Access is granted automatically, and removed at the end of the period requested (the user is then auto logged out).
  • A windows pop up warning is provided to the user before their access is revoked
  • All activity by the user is monitored and recorded during the period, and sent as a log on expiry of the increased access period (including any table changes made, transactions called, etc)
  • All activity (including changes) are performed under the user id of the person in question, making identification easy for auditing purposes

The tool is highly configurable:

  • ZETA can be made available only at certain times – for example, during normal working hours the tool can be unavailable, forcing requests to be made via the security or access team
  • ZETA can be linked to a work calendar to identify non-working days, and limit access to these
  • ZETA enables granting only predetermined access to a user
  • ZETA enables sending notification emails to specific users only
