SAP AUDIT TRAIL COMPLIANCE AND INTELLIGENCE

From SAP evidence to defensible assurance.

Govern evidence from source capture and deterministic control evaluation through findings, remediation, independent validation and audit-ready assurance.

Sign in to Pramaan See how Pramaan works
From SAP source signals to a governed assurance conclusion Four source signal streams cross a governed collection boundary and are sealed into an immutable evidence core, which then produces distinct assurance outcomes.

  • Evidence preserved without transformation
  • Deterministic, versioned control evaluation
  • Independent validation before closure
  • Tenant-isolated by construction

THE PROBLEM

Activity reports are not assurance.

A list of privileged logons is not a conclusion. When a log is missing, a period is incomplete or a source cannot be verified, the common behaviour is to score what is present and show a green percentage — and the gap disappears into the average.

Conclusions, not activity

A control either operated over the period or it did not. Pramaan reaches that conclusion and records how.

Gaps stay visible

Missing evidence is a distinct outcome that can never become a pass. Absence of evidence is never read as evidence of absence.

The work is shown

Every conclusion traces to its source system, evidence, rule version and the explanation recorded at the time.

Opinion never overwrites evidence

A management response, an accepted risk or a completed action never converts a failure into a pass.

THE PRAMAAN ASSURANCE JOURNEY

Source capture to audit-ready assurance.

Each stage is a governed, recorded step — not a pipeline diagram.

  1. Governed collection

    Read-only extraction with checkpoints and signed batch manifests.

  2. Immutable evidence

    Sealed objects, hashes and chain of custody.

  3. Deterministic controls

    Versioned rules, declared applicability and evidence requirements.

  4. Assurance conclusion

    PASS, FAIL, NOT APPLICABLE, NOT EVALUABLE or ERROR — never blended.

  5. Finding and ownership

    Recurrence and systemic classification, with a named owner.

  6. Root cause and action

    Structured RCA kept separate from the corrective action.

  7. Independent validation

    Somebody who did not do the work confirms it.

  8. Audit-ready output

    Governed reports and an on-demand assurance package.

EVIDENCE CHAIN

Ten governed stages behind a single conclusion.

Anchored on the governed result, not the finding — because the chain begins at the source system and only reaches a finding at stage seven.

  1. EVIDENCE TRUTH Source system
  2. Source evidence
  3. Verification and attestation
  4. Canonical event
  5. Rule and control
  6. Evidence conclusion
  7. Finding
  8. MANAGEMENT TRUTH — RECORDED ALONGSIDE, NEVER OVERWRITING Management response
  9. Root cause and CAPA
  10. EVIDENCE TRUTH Independent validation

Stages 1–7 and 10 are evidence truth. Stages 8–9 are management truth.

THE THREE-TRUTH MODEL

Three classes of statement. Never blended.

This is what separates Pramaan from a dashboard or a general-purpose assistant: the organisation's opinion and a machine's suggestion can never overwrite what the evidence established.

EVIDENCE

Evidence truth

What the evidence established.

MANAGEMENT

Management truth

What the organisation states.

MACHINE

Machine recommendation

What the platform suggests, pending human judgement.

There is no fourth class, and no conversion path between them.

SECURITY AND GOVERNANCE

Governed by construction.

Tenant isolation

A database per tenant, with a router that fails closed rather than guessing.

Segregation of duties

Investigators and corrective-action owners cannot validate their own work.

Explicit export entitlement

Reading a register and taking a bulk copy away are different acts.

Restricted cases

A restricted finding is absent from every screen, count, report and export.

SAP DEPLOYMENT COVERAGE

One canonical contract, deployment-specific connectors.

Applicability, responsibility and configuration differ by deployment; the canonical evidence contract does not.

SAP ECC 6.0

Application-layer evidence through released interfaces.

SAP S/4HANA Private

Application, database and host evidence where permitted.

S/4HANA Cloud Private under RISE

Shared-responsibility boundary made explicit.

S/4HANA Cloud Public

Provider-produced evidence, recorded as such.

Source coverage is stated per source and per period. Nothing here asserts complete SAP coverage.

ASSURANCE OUTPUT

Something an auditor can take away.

Governed reports

Declared population, declared scope, declared ordering.

Assurance package

A manifest, per-file hashes and a content digest.

On demand

Generated when asked for, not retained afterwards.

Reconciled

Every figure traces to the governed query that produced it.
