SAP penetration testing: a scoped, SAP-specific review
With SAP Penetration Testing, we assess the vulnerabilities in your SAP environment and their potential business impact. We agree on the test boundaries with you before we start, and give your technical team and leadership prioritized findings and remediation recommendations.

02 / Scope
What do we test, and within which boundaries?
Together we define the systems and interfaces to be assessed in your ECC or S/4HANA environment. The SAP system ID (SID), environment type, access level and out-of-scope areas are part of the proposal. SAP interfaces, authorizations and business logic, and where appropriate custom ABAP code and the database layer, are covered within the agreed scope.
| Test scenario | Condition agreed in advance |
|---|---|
| External attacker (black-box) | Exposed surface and access points to be tested |
| Limited-privilege user (grey-box) | Test account/role to be provided, and its limits |
| Full-access review (white-box) | Technical information and access scope to be provided |
Not every scenario is automatically included in every engagement. The choice of production, test or target environment and any required third-party permissions are assessed at the start.

04 / Deliverables and business value
Which deliverable, and for whom?
✓Technical report per system: scope, technical findings, evidence and remediation recommendations.
✓Executive summary: business impact, priorities and issues that need a decision.
✓Prioritized remediation recommendations: for planning actions with the responsible teams.
Value
You see how each finding could affect your business and where to start remediation.
Report structureExample
| Field | Content |
|---|---|
| Finding | Test role can modify records beyond its business need |
| Evidence | Access/validation finding recorded within the authorized test scope |
| Potential business impact | Unauthorized modification of data |
| Recommendation | Restrict the authorization to task needs and review the related access |
| Next check | Re-validation after remediation, if scoped |
Example report structure. Testing provides evidence about the reviewed scope and period; it is not a guarantee that all risks have been eliminated.
