Featured Customer

Solvay

Improve Access Mgmt. and Protection of Export-Controlled and EH&S Data

About the Project

Ensuring compliance with EH&S and export regulation is critical for global expansion and avoiding costly penalties, reputational damage, and maintaining the integrity of international trade. For Solvay, it is crucial to comply with several export control regulations that are either military (ITAR, EAR…) or dual use (EU, UK, Canada…). Furthermore, Solvay must comply with Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) regulations and minimize the impact of their operations on the environment. Like many companies, Solvay’s ability to manage and control access at the data access level was limited due to static roles (PFCG roles in SAP), which are complex and difficult to maintain. As such, Solvay’s need to secure export-controlled data stored in SAP application was overcome through NextLabs’ zero trust data security suite, which provides dynamic data-level security controls and fine-grained data access governance. This dynamic approach not only addressed Solvay’s need to remain in compliance with export regulations and EH&S; the approach also helped automate role provisioning, increase the level of security, as well as improve data and access rights management in SAP applications.

“NextLabs did a great job working with us to implement the Zero Trust Data Security suite for SAP,” and “NextLabs’ team was very responsive and knowledgeable – addressing our needs and accommodating new requirements implementing DAM and DAE for SAP to control access and segregate data logically for compliance with export control and EH&S regulations.”

Outcomes

Enabled by NextLabs Expert Services, Solvay Digital Technology team was able to effectively implement NextLabs DAM and DAE for SAP to streamline compliance and strengthen cybersecurity. Multiple SAP ECC servers were installed with the NextLabs enforcers for SAP, which interacts with NextLabs Policy Engine via Amazon Application load-balancer. Policy admins can access the Control Center Server (PAP) to author policies via the Policy Studio GUI. In doing so, Solvay can simplify access management and protect data across SAP applications, while automating role provisioning and streamlining audits.
