Best practices-based security services

SAP enables its customers to protect their business processes through a comprehensive security portfolio turned into services. We take the security chapter of the EarlyWatch Alert as a starting point to offer detailed services mainly around the Security Optimization Service ant the Security Notes which are published on SAP Support Portal and shown in the application System Recommendations of the SAP Solution Manager.

Combining the results of these services with the existing Security Policy of the company we define the company's SAP Security Baseline. This document is then used do define Target Systems for the application Configuration Validation in the SAP Solution Manager. You can either use the cross-system BW reports of that application directly or you can pass results to another reporting infrastructure like a Management Dashboard within the SAP Solution Manager, to Business Objects, to GRC Process Control or any other reporting system.
