Why SAP security under NIS2 and DORA is now a top priority
SAP systems control central business processes: from finance and human resources to purchasing and production. At the same time, security-relevant activities in the SAP environment remain incompletely visible in many companies.
With NIS2, BSIG and DORA, the requirements for companies to manage cyber risks in a structured manner, implement security measures in a comprehensible manner and recognise incidents in a reliable manner are increasing. As a result, the responsibility of management is also becoming more prominent.
This white paper helps you to better categorise risks, responsibilities and technical fields of action in the SAP context in a compact, understandable and practical way.
- Better understand risks in SAP systems
- Categorise relevance for management and governance
- Recognise monitoring and logging gaps
- Derive measures for the next 12 months
Why this white paper is relevant now
Many companies still view SAP security primarily as a specialised technical issue. This is precisely what is increasingly becoming a risk.
Because where there is a lack of transparency about critical activities, security-relevant events cannot be clearly traced and SAP systems are only incompletely integrated into security processes, it is not only operational risks that arise. The requirements for control, supervision and verifiability are also growing.
NIS2, BSIG and DORA are therefore increasing the pressure to anchor SAP security in a more structured way, not only in IT but also at management level.
Who the white paper is intended for
