Onapsis Platform: RISE with SAP for Cyber-Resilience

Download

Let Onapsis Help You Manage Your Security Responsibilities to Achieve Cost Savings and Efficiencies 

The Challenge

The RISE with SAP® program is designed to facilitate the transition to the cloud with less risk. However, that doesn’t mean zero risk for organizations and their InfoSec teams. The RISE customer owns responsibility in reducing this risk as well. Fundamentally, RISE is no different from other cloud offerings. SAP and the RISE customer operate a “shared responsibility model” for security. To move to the cloud with less risk requires joint collaborative effort from both parties in different areas of security. While SAP owns responsibility for security OF the cloud, the customer is responsible for security IN the cloud. So if SAP will not cover all security, it’s essential that RISE customers understand their responsibilities, including:

  • Quality/security of migrated or new code, all transports, & change management
  • Requesting application of “non-HotNews” Security Notes
  • All users (including third parties) their access, and behavior 
  • Security audit logging, related security issues, and incident response
  • Owning compliance and compensating controls 

Taking on these shared security responsibilities in a new environment with less control and access than before (with onPrem) creates new challenges for RISE customers that are only compounded further with accelerated project schedules, SAP landscape complexity, under-resourced teams, and ever-growing compliance pressures.
