Secure Your SAP RISE Migration with 1st Basis Consulting’s Pre-Migration Security Audit
Transitioning to RISE with SAP offers businesses a pathway to a cloud-based, intelligent enterprise, streamlining operations and fostering innovation. However, for CIOs, one critical question overshadows the promise of transformation: Will moving to RISE expose our organization to greater security risks? At 1st Basis Consulting, our RISE Pre-Migration Security Audit is designed to address this fear head-on. We ensure your migration is secure and seamless by thoroughly assessing your current SAP landscape, evaluating risks under RISE, and identifying gaps in SAP’s shared responsibility model.
Understanding RISE with SAP and Its Security Implications
RISE with SAP is a comprehensive offering that combines SAP S/4HANA Cloud, business process intelligence, and a managed cloud infrastructure, enabling companies to modernize their ERP systems. While SAP handles much of the infrastructure and platform security in RISE, the shared responsibility model means customers remain accountable for securing their applications, data, and access controls. This division of responsibilities introduces potential vulnerabilities, especially if your current SAP environment has undetected weaknesses. Our audit focuses on three critical questions:
- How secure is your current SAP landscape? We evaluate your existing SAP ECC or S/4HANA on-premises systems for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps.
- Will your security posture degrade under RISE? We assess how your current security measures align with RISE’s cloud-based framework.
- What gaps exist in SAP’s shared responsibility model? We identify areas where your organization must take ownership to maintain a robust security posture.
Why a Pre-Migration Security Audit is Essential
Migrating to RISE without a thorough security assessment is like moving into a new house without checking the locks. According to SAP’s security guidelines, proactive risk management is critical for cloud transitions. Our audit mitigates risks by:
- Uncovering Hidden Vulnerabilities: We use advanced tools and methodologies to detect issues in your current SAP environment, such as outdated patches, weak access controls, or unencrypted data flows.
- Ensuring RISE Readiness: We evaluate whether your security practices meet the requirements of SAP’s cloud infrastructure, including integration with SAP Cloud Platform and compliance with standards like ISO 27001.
- Bridging Responsibility Gaps: We provide a detailed roadmap to address areas where SAP’s managed services end and your responsibilities begin, such as identity management and application-level security.
By addressing these issues before migration, we help you avoid costly post-migration remediation and potential breaches.
