Our latest contribution to the largest security vulnerability in many SAP systems has surprisingly received a lot of feedback.
Direct responses and discussions came from various directions.

One question arose repeatedly:

How can you find out if such risks exist in your own system?

In established SAP landscapes, there are often in-house developments from earlier projects, migrations, or short-term requirements.

Some of these programs can for example:

• directly modify tables
• change bulk data
• or bypass existing business logic

When such programs are started – deliberately or accidentally
even a single run can have significant consequences.

A compact governance and risk check for SAP systems

For this reason, we have assembled a compact analysis package that specifically makes these risks visible.

It combines two perspectives:

🔎 Spotcheck
shows the actual reality in the system – including critical programs and usage.

🛡 Security Pathfinder
identifies areas where system logic creates risks or controls can be circumvented.

Together, these analyses reveal exactly the areas where
governance and security risks can arise in SAP systems.

Detecting risks – and addressing them specifically

The central insight is simple:

Such risks can be identified.
And they can be reduced.

The critical step is transparency about,
which programs in the system actually open up such possibilities.
