SAP® Security

Alongside the reliability of SAP® systems, the security of the company data contained within is of high priority, particularly in light of the fact that companies are being affected by increasing numbers of security incidents and cyberattacks. Both the technical and organizational aspects play an important role here.

On the one hand, SAP® systems and their interfaces to other systems must be considered, as well as the challenges surrounding hybrid cloud scenarios. On the other hand, users and their authorizations must be checked in detail, with a central login or roles with functional separations, amongst other aspects, being important components in this regard. The security aspect of operating SAP® systems must also be taken into account. SIEM solutions can help here by analyzing any irregularities and notifying the operator in the event of any security incidents.

SAP® systems and interfaces

SAP® systems and their interfaces are often a gateway for attackers, particularly if they are not correctly parameterized or set up. Various aspects must be considered to ensure end-to-end system security – from the infrastructure, all the way to SAP® profile parameters.

With our expertise and best practices from different recommendations and guidelines, we help you ensure your SAP® systems and interfaces are secure.

SAP® authorizations

Authorizations are an important part of developing a security plan. These concepts should satisfy the demands of the organizational structure, whereby critical authorizations should only be assigned with minimal scope and to very few employees. In addition, regulatory framework conditions often specify functional separations across authorizations.

Our SAP® consultants have the experience and expertise to support you in adapting or redesigning your authorization concept. We help you integrate your requirements and implement them such that you are on the safe side when it comes to authorizations – and can continue with the same approach in the future.

SAP® security monitoring

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly prevalent and complex, while also often remaining undetected for extended periods of time. It is therefore recommended to monitor SAP® systems for irregularities. Many companies already rely on SIEM (security information and event management) solutions; in many cases, however, SAP® systems must first be integrated here.

SVA supports you in monitoring your SAP® systems with regard to security – whether during integration into your existing SIEM solution, or by providing access to SVA’s Security Operations Center (SOC), which enables you to procure these services “out of the box.”
