What Appsian does

Appsian is a privately held ERP data security and compliance software company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, founded in 2012. The company provides a unified platform for data security, identity and access management (IAM), and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) purpose-built for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, specifically SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), and Oracle JD Edwards. Core capabilities include attribute-based access controls (ABAC), dynamic data masking, multi-factor authentication, native SAML/ADFS single sign-on, real-time user and entity behavior analytics (Appsian360), and segregation of duties management (ProfileTailor GRC). The platform is designed to overlay existing role-based ERP security without modifying native role and authorization structures, reducing deployment friction and audit effort for compliance-heavy customers.
