Why Your SAP Know-How Isn’t Enough Anymore
SAP landscapes are complex and require a dedicated security strategy. Effective protection involves collaboration across three lines of defense and internal expertise. Building a proactive security culture is essential to address root problems and ensure that processes, controls, and technology are optimized for long-term security.

As SAP consultants, you already know that your clients depend on SAP systems to run their most critical business processes—from finance and procurement to HR and supply chain. But here’s the reality: these same systems are also one of the top targets for cybercriminals today.
And while your implementation and optimization skills are essential, there's a growing expectation that consultants understand and flag SAP-related security risks—even if they weren’t hired for security.
The problem? Many companies still rely on outdated tools, siloed security software, or third-party vendors that are far removed from the reality of SAP system operations.
What Most Organizations Still Get Wrong About SAP Security
Cybersecurity can’t be left to automated tools and policies alone. It requires deep system-specific understanding, and that includes SAP’s unique architecture, role concepts, authorizations, integrations, and vulnerabilities.
Some organizations try to solve this through general cybersecurity training. But let’s be honest—it’s not designed for SAP. And standard IT security methods don’t fully apply in SAP environments.
That's where well-intentioned efforts fall short. Skill gaps remain. And attackers only need one gap to get in.
Good Training is Crucial — But It's Not Enough
There’s a big difference between knowing the theory and testing the system live. In high-risk environments like SAP, companies need more than training—they need offensive testing, real threat modeling, and hands-on exposure to what a breach could actually look like.
That’s exactly where we come in.
