White Paper
Which cybersecurity framework is the best fit for SAP application security?
This whitepaper explores how organizations can strengthen SAP security by adopting established cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, COBIT, and CIS. While these frameworks provide structured approaches to managing risk, protecting data, and standardizing security operations, they are not inherently designed for SAP environments. As a result, organizations must translate and adapt these frameworks to fit SAP-specific requirements. The paper concludes that no single framework is sufficient on its own, and the most effective strategy is a hybrid approach—combining recognized frameworks with SAP-specific security controls and tools to ensure comprehensive protection of critical systems.
