Why it matters

The business case for SAP security

SAP runs the financial backbone of most large organisations — payroll, procurement, treasury, HR and customer data. It is also among the least monitored and most poorly secured systems in the enterprise.

  • DORA & NIS2 require demonstrable controls over ICT systems — SAP is core ICT
  • GDPR mandates protection of personal data in SAP HR, CRM and customer modules
  • SAP is routinely excluded from penetration testing and SOC monitoring

Pain points we address

Sound familiar?

01

Your most sensitive data, poorly protected

Finance, HR and payroll all live in SAP — yet most organisations have never assessed it.

02

SoD violations create fraud risk

Users who can create vendors and approve payments are endemic — and auditors want them fixed.

03

Patches applied months late

Patches often land 6–18 months late, while attackers exploit within 72 hours.

04

SAP is invisible to your SOC

Privilege escalation and mass data export in SAP generate no alerts in most SOCs.

05

DORA, NIS2 & GDPR all touch SAP

Regulators expect ERP systems inside your ICT risk management.
