Back to original languageAbout Fabien
SAP Security / Authorizations / GRC Consultant with 8+ years of SAP experience, including 7+ years focused on SAP security, access governance, role design, and S/4HANA / Fiori environments.
I specialize in authorization audits, role remediation, critical access cleanup (SAP_ALL / SAP_NEW), SoD reviews, provisioning, SAP GRC ARM workflows, authorization incident resolution, and UAT / go-live support.
My experience covers SAP ECC, S/4HANA, S/4HANA Cloud, Fiori catalogs / tiles / spaces / pages, PFCG, SU53, SUIM, SAP GRC ARM, and GRC-like systems. I also have a solid operational SAP Basis foundation, useful for understanding transports, monitoring, system operations, and technical constraints related to security.
I have supported French and international industrial clients in audit contexts, S/4HANA brownfield upgrades, migrations, go-live support, role model optimization, access governance, and documentation. At General Electric, I spent 4 years working on SAP GRC ARM in a strict international finance environment, improving access workflows and reducing access delivery time from approximately two weeks to half a day.
I can help your teams secure SAP access, ensure role reliability, reduce SoD risks, improve auditability, document processes, and pragmatically support S/4HANA / Fiori changes.
