Our services are of interest to you if...

  • You want to specifically improve your security measures.
  • You are looking for support in managing your cloud infrastructure.
  • You want to balance limited resources with demand-oriented consulting.
  • You need to meet specific compliance requirements.
  • You require a strategy for an authorization concept.
  • You want to optimize and professionally prepare your audit process.

Are you aware of these challenges?

01

“We don't have enough people for security!”

Your IT and security team is overloaded and you cannot find new employees. Due to the lack of resources, critical projects are delayed and security gaps remain open for too long.

02

Lack of transparency in the cloud infrastructure

Unclear responsibilities and non-transparent access rights can increase the risk of security incidents. Without clear management and smart configuration, the cloud infrastructure will always remain vulnerable.

03

The know-how for the security requirements is missing

IT security is not a task that can be done on the side, because today's complex threats and technologies place high demands. Without specialist knowledge, security gaps and incalculable risks arise!

04

Already applied the latest patch?

Outdated systems and inadequate update and patch management open the door to cybercriminals. Unclosed vulnerabilities jeopardize IT security and adherence to compliance requirements.

Our Offering in SAP Security

Studies show that the interest of cybercriminals and hackers in SAP ERP systems has significantly increased since 2020. The number of ransomware incidents alone has risen by 220 percent in recent years.

If you want to protect your often business-critical systems, you must inevitably address the topic of SAP security. Topics such as authorization concepts, patch and audit management, or vulnerability analysis should be on every IT agenda!

GAMBIT helps you build and secure your IT system landscapes and validate guidelines – all ideally right from the system setup as part of your SAP implementation project.

Our focus in the area of IT and SAP security

Overview of Services

With our GAMBIT Cyber Security Roadmap, we offer you a comprehensive process model for the analysis and development of measures in the areas of organization, processes, applications, systems and IT environment. The program includes an analysis of the security strategy and the digital maturity of systems, a system, policy and compliance check as well as a final assessment with possible measures (“Security Roadmap”).

With a suitable authorization concept, we ensure that the roles and user authorizations in your company are defined and used correctly. To do this, we validate interface and background users and check compliance with naming conventions and role types. We also identify critical authorization objects, analyse potential SoD (Segregation of Duties) conflicts and check highly privileged roles for potential risks.

When validating the system profile parameters, we are guided by SAP best practices and the specifications of the DSAG test guidelines. By optimally configuring the parameters, we optimize system stability and system security. We also identify and document weak points or deviations from the standards so that we can make targeted improvements.

The best basis for the security and compliance of IT systems? Comprehensive vulnerability management, including patch and audit management! For example, we regularly check whether new releases and patches are available in order to update systems and tools and keep them up to date. At the same time, we use audit management to ensure compliance with SoD rules, the correct creation, modification and deletion of roles and the implementation of an effective emergency user concept, for which we use the solution from our partner Xiting: the Xiting Authorizations Management Suite (XAMS). A suitable emergency user concept also ensures the continuous workflow during a go-live. Custom code security, password policies and Remote Function Call (RFC) and APIs are also part of vulnerability management.

With the SAP Security Audit Log (SAL), we create transparency about all security-relevant events in the system. The solution can be used to perform an initial check of the configuration of current event filters, user filters and the evaluation process. In this way, we ensure that security-critical events are effectively recorded and evaluated so that risks can be identified and responded to at an early stage.

In the area of cloud security, we ensure that modern security standards are implemented in your SAP cloud environment. This includes checking and optimizing the role concept in the BTP (IAM or Identity and Access Management) in order to clearly define and control access authorizations. In addition, multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) ensure a high degree of user-friendliness and protection against unauthorized access to your systems. In the area of SSO, we rely on the SAP solution SAP Secure Login, which supports additional certificate-based encryption (SAML, Kerberos and X.509 certificates). We also advise and support you in choosing the right cloud infrastructure provider to ensure that your environment is optimally tailored to your individual security requirements.
