What is SAP Security?

Everything you need to know about security, roles and profiles in SAP

SAP Security

SAP security refers to the practices, procedures and measures implemented to protect the systems, data and business processes that use the ERP developed by SAP, and is essential to prevent internal and external threats, comply with regulations, and maintain the trust of customers and business partners. Since these systems store and process critical and sensitive information, it is essential to ensure its integrity, confidentiality and availability.

The importance of SAP Security

Imagine that a company is a castle and SAP is the fortress that guards its most valuable treasures: financial data, customer information and trade secrets. Without adequate protection, intruders could plunder your most valuable assets. SAP Security is responsible for keeping doors locked and walls high, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access.
