1. Onapsis Is the ONLY SAP Cybersecurity & Compliance Solution Endorsed by SAP Itself
Your enterprise deserves the highest quality solution for security and compliance. Onapsis maintains the highest possible level of security validation and integration by SAP through its rigorous, invitation-only Endorsed Apps certification process. SAP and Onapsis executive teams actively partner on joint market outreach and education and align roadmaps on product integrations together. Onapsis is SAP’s first, best, and most recommended choice for SAP application security and compliance. Choosing any other vendor without this level of certification increases your risk and misses out on the market leader’s partnership with SAP.
2. Onapsis Research Labs: Unmatched, Trusted SAP Cyber Intelligence
Keep miles ahead of threat actors and more effectively secure your full SAP landscape with support from the Onapsis Research Labs. We have over 16 years of experience, a research team (at least) 10X the size of the nearest competitor, well over 1,000 zero-day SAP threats discovered and neutralized, and close working partnerships with SAP Product Security Research Team (PSRT) and government agencies like US CISA and Germany BSI. Onapsis built and operates a Global SAP Threat Intelligence Network, giving us unprecedented visibility into SAP threat actors, what they’re attacking, and how they’re doing it. ALL of this research powers our technology, including the ability to deliver pre-patch protection for SAP zero-day threats before Security Notes or Patches are released! Beyond the Onapsis technology stack, partnering with Onapsis also means getting access to the Onapsis Research Labs for exclusive customer threat briefings throughout the year.
Why does all this experience and threat research matter? SAP cybersecurity is complicated and nuanced, so when SAP systems are rendered vulnerable and under attack, you need knowledgeable experts advising you – not security novices. Consider this recent example: when news of the global SAP zero-day attacks first surfaced in April 2025, Onapsis customers received immediate protection in the Onapsis Platform and a private SAP threat briefing from the Onapsis Research Labs within 24hrs.
Compare that to how another “SAP security” vendor that claims to also have a research team handled the biggest attacks in SAP history. Three days later, they released a blogpost with the “analysis” that the vulnerability under active exploitation was only a medium risk, only exploitable by an authenticated user, and not a large concern at the time. This “analysis” was completely incorrect – both from a technical and an observational perspective. As a result, this misinformed and negligent guidance endangered their customer base by downplaying the threat. Presumably, this guidance delayed any defensive actions their customers could take, putting them at a significantly higher risk of compromise and breach. Adding insult to injury, the vendor did not correct their grossly inaccurate guidance for five days afterward, and, even then, their product coverage was incomplete and unable to properly protect their clients. When your SAP systems are under attack, only Onapsis can give you the protection you need.
Don’t create additional risk in your production environment with SAP plugin “solutions” that are developed in SAP ABAP, leverage Fiori, and require installation on critical SAP productive systems. These “solutions” are exposed (and potentially susceptible) to the very same vulnerabilities affecting your SAP systems. The only difference is that you have the ability to patch or control your SAP systems; you have no control over these potentially vulnerable ABAP-based alternatives. Competing vendors also don’t spend the time and resources to secure and verify their solution codebases, introducing new attack vectors and significant security risks. If SAP is compromised, so is your security plugin…and vice versa. Conversely, Onapsis remains committed to following security best practices dictating that security and compliance controls must be kept separate from the solution (in this case, SAP) that you’re securing and de-risking. The Onapsis next-generation architecture offers a lightweight deployment without sacrificing security best practices. Deployed as infrastructure-as-code (IaC), just ONE Onapsis virtual appliance is needed for hundreds of SAP systems, regardless of network segment, on premises, or cloud. Compared to other vendors’ deployment models, the Onapsis architecture offers an easy, lightweight IaC installation with a significantly lower total cost of ownership that does not sacrifice your enterprise security. Only Onapsis checks the box for you, your finance team, and your auditors here.
4. Onapsis Provides Greater Depth for Custom Code Security Than The Competition, Analyzing Various Languages BEYOND ABAP, Such as UI5, HANA, Fiori, and BTP/Cloud Extensions
Onapsis provides more robust testing capabilities across more SAP coding languages than SAP and the competition combined – including static (SAST), dynamic (DAST), interactive (IAST), and software composition analysis (SCA) for both ABAP and non-ABAP languages. Onapsis Control offers the most robust SAP code security testing features in the market today. We offer the most security and compliance test cases and robust integrations into every part of your secure application development lifecycle to give your organization security for code in development, code in motion, and code at rest. The competition? Simply a management layer and a small handful of publicly-sourced test cases running on top of the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC), subject to the same technology limitations you already know.
5. Onapsis Delivers 16+ Years of SAP and Cybersecurity Experience, Knowledge, and Best Practices Paired with Artificial Intelligence to Drive Greater Efficiency and Automation for Your Teams
No other competing vendor has the data, the AI expertise, the threat intelligence, or the experience and maturity that Onapsis has. The Onapsis Security Advisor (provided free to customers) utilizes multiple AI models to generate strong peer and industry benchmarking, high-impact bespoke guidance for teams, and deep executive insights into the current and future states of SAP security. Onapsis Defend utilizes AI to search for anomalous behavior. Onapsis Control offers “One Click Fix” to automate code correction for common code errors. Unlike other competing vendors that are shoehorning basic, public LLMs into SAP security, Onapsis continues to expand AI innovation across our product portfolio in thoughtful, meaningful, and secure ways.
6. Onapsis Offers Multiple Certifications for Our Codebase, Demonstrating the Highest Quality and Security That Customers Achieve with Onapsis
Ask for certification proof! Onapsis is ISO certified across 3 disciplines, and our codebase is regularly tested and certified by industry leaders for industry standards – unlike the competition.

Onapsis works where you want to work – period – unlike the competition.
