Rizwana Begum
@rizwanabegum
SAP Security & GRC consultant specializing in authorization management, AC 12, and audit-ready access controls.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven SAP Security & GRC consultant with 10+ years of IT experience, including 7+ years focused on SAP Authorization Management, GRC Access Control (AC 12), and Security Audit support. I bring certified SAP security administration expertise and a consistent track record delivering secure, compliant access across ECC, S/4 HANA, and SAP Enterprise Portal environments.
In my current role at TCS, I administer and manage the full user lifecycle across SAP ECC, APO, and Enterprise Portal for 1000+ user accounts using SU01 and SU10. I design and maintain Single, Composite, Master, and Derived roles with Profile Generator (PFCG), resolve authorization issues with SU53/ST01/STAUTHTRACE, and streamline audit readiness through 90-day inactivity reviews, leaver deactivations, and SUIM/SM20 log extraction—supported by ServiceNow ticketing to improve SLA compliance.
I also manage GRC AC 12 access requests, admin delegation, and open request workflows while advising end users on the right business role to minimize SoD risks. Beyond authorization work, I’ve led S/4 HANA Cloud enablement automation using SAP START scripts, supported SAP SE global IAM services through knowledge transfer and solution documentation, and earlier worked as a network risk analyst—so I’m comfortable balancing governance, technical rigor, and practical delivery. My approach is simple: build secure access frameworks, reduce friction in authorization workflows, and keep compliance evidence audit-ready.
