The current process for SAP User Access management, Human Capital Management (HCM) and non-HCM Segregation of Duties (SoD), Emergency Access Management and Role Management are manual paper-based processes managed by BUC’s (Business User Controllers) and the SAP Competency Centre.

BACKGROUND — LANDSCAPE

Sellafield has been nearly 80 years in the making. A pioneer for the UK’s nuclear industry, it supported national defence, generated electricity for nearly half a century, and developed the ability to safely manage nuclear waste. Each chapter of Sellafield’s history delivered great benefit for the country while creating a complex nuclear clean-up challenge for which there are no blueprints.

Today, Sellafield covers 6 square kilometres and is home to more than 200 nuclear facilities and the largest inventory of untreated nuclear waste in the world. From cleaning-up the country’s highest nuclear risks and hazards to safeguarding nuclear fuel, materials and waste, our mission is nationally important. Our purpose is to keep Sellafield safe and secure, cleaning-up the site to a defined end state.

The purpose of this PIN is to understand the capability and capacity of the SAP GRC market. This information will then be used to help determine Sellafield’s overall approach and any future acquisition strategy in relation to SAP GRC.
