Real-World SAP Security: How Kerry Group Reduced Compliance Workload Through Better Visibility
SAP security matters to your business, not just your IT team. But let's be honest: most organisations only give it proper attention when an audit looms, something breaks or the risks become too obvious to ignore.
 
Kerry Group, a global leader in taste and nutrition, decided to get ahead of the curve. Instead of waiting for problems, they built a more visible, manageable approach to SAP security that actually makes daily operations easier.
 
What will be covered:
  • Kerry Group's journey - The security challenges they faced, what they've achieved, and how they built a security approach that works for the long term, not just for the next audit
  • Better visibility - How they made SAP security activities clearer and more transparent, leading to smarter decisions and less time spent on compliance
  • Spotting threats earlier - Ongoing monitoring that flags suspicious activity before it becomes a serious problem, with less manual work involved
  • Strengthening their security - The practical steps they took to protect sensitive data, improve system defences and stay audit-ready without the last-minute scramble
  • What's coming next - A look at securing SAP access with TrustBroker, smarter single sign-on that adapts based on risk and context
  • Honest lessons - The real challenges they encountered, how they tackled them and what you can take away, regardless of which security tools you use
This solution came to Kerry through the partnership between Turnkey and SecurityBridge. SAP security specialists from both companies will be available after the session to answer any SecurityBridge-related questions.
 
Access Governance Approach from SAP
 
James Wainaina from SAP will be walking us through how organisations can take a smarter, more structured approach to managing who has access to what within their systems and why it matters more than ever.
 
Drawing on his experience with SAP's Identity Access Governance (IAG) and SAP GRC for S4HANA (SAP GRC 2026), James will explore how this latest generation of tools helps organisations stay in control of user access rights and meet compliance requirements without the usual headaches.
 
Built on SAP HANA with a cloud-ready architecture, SAP GRC 2026 brings a new level of intelligence and integration to access management, making it easier to protect sensitive data and keep critical business processes secure.
 
Whether you're already working with SAP GRC or just starting to think about access governance, this session will give you plenty to take away.
 
Keeping Up With Regulation — Without It Taking Over Your Week
 
Staying on top of regulatory change is one of those tasks that quietly eats up enormous amounts of time. Rules shift across different countries, systems need updating, and the cost of missing something can be significant, both financially and reputationally.
 
In this session, Bo Baade Pedersen from SAP will walk through how SAP Regulation Management is helping organisations get a handle on exactly this challenge.
