S/4HANA Transformations

The Barriers to
SAP S/4HANA Transformation

This is a major transformation of your most important assets. You need to ensure that when the new S/4HANA applications are deployed, they support the business immediately without service interruptions or downtime.

Even well-staffed organizations struggle with the bandwidth required for a project of this magnitude. Internal teams often lack familiarity with new security requirements for SAP HANA and the Fiori design language.

To bridge the resource gap, most organizations rely on System Integrators (SIs). Validating the quality and security of their work is difficult, creating a “black box” of risk.

With the accelerated pace of digital transformation, there is immense pressure to avoid delays. Manual security reviews are a bottleneck you cannot afford.

Get Ready for S/4HANA with Onapsis

In order for your SAP S/4HANA transformation to be successful, you need to build in security and compliance from the start. That’s where Onapsis comes in, providing the vulnerability managementthreat monitoringapplication security testing, and compliance automation solutions you need to ensure your applications and data remain secure, compliant, and available at every stage of the transformation.

Eliminate Legacy Risks

Migrating legacy customizations often leads to “lifting and shifting” old vulnerabilities into your new environment, creating immediate technical debt and audit risk.

  • How We Help: Onapsis automatically scans your legacy ECC system to identify misconfigurations and unused, insecure code that should be decommissioned before the move.
  • The Value: You start fresh with a “Clean Core,” eliminating legacy risk and significantly reducing the complexity and cost of your migration.

Accelerate Development Cycles

Waiting until the end of a project to check for security issues almost always results in expensive rework, frustrating delays, and potential go-live blockers.

  • How We Help: Onapsis integrates directly into your development environment, acting as an automated “spell check” that catches security and quality issues in new HANA and Fiori applications the moment they are written.
  • The Value: You accelerate development cycles and avoid costly delays by fixing vulnerabilities early—when they are cheapest and easiest to remediate.

Secure Third-Party Deliverables

Outsourcing development can create a “black box” of risk. Without visibility into what your partners are building, you may inherit vulnerabilities or backdoors while remaining responsible for the security of the final system.

  • How We Help: Onapsis provides independent validation by automatically inspecting every transport—including those from SIs—to block harmful content and verify that configurations meet your security standards, not just default settings.
  • The Value: You can hold your partners accountable, ensuring high-quality deliverables without needing to manually audit every line of code yourself.

Keep Your Project on Schedule

Relying on manual security reviews for code, logs, and configurations is slow, prone to human error, and creates significant bottlenecks that threaten your go-live date.

  • How We Help: Onapsis automates the heavy lifting of compliance and security. We replace manual audit preparation with automated reporting and eliminate manual log reviews with continuous, real-time threat monitoring.
  • The Value: Your team is freed from tedious manual tasks to focus on strategic migration efforts, keeping your project on time and under budget while ensuring business continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions: S/4HANA Migration Security

Will adding security checks slow down our S/4HANA project timeline?

No, it actually accelerates it. The primary cause of delays in S/4HANA projects is often unplanned rework caused by code errors or compliance failures discovered late in testing (or worse, by auditors after go-live). By automating code analysis and configuration checks in real-time, Onapsis eliminates the manual bottlenecks that typically slow down development, helping you hit your go-live date with confidence.

Does moving to SAP S/4HANA Cloud (RISE) eliminate the need for third-party security?

No. This is a common misconception. While SAP manages the security of the underlying infrastructure in a RISE environment, you are still responsible for what you put inside the environment: your data, user identities, custom code, and application-level configurations. Onapsis covers these specific areas of “shared responsibility” that the cloud provider does not secure.

How do we ensure compliance continuity when switching from ECC to S/4HANA?

Migrating to a new platform often breaks existing compliance controls, leaving a gap where the organization is vulnerable to audit findings. Onapsis solves this by allowing you to baseline your compliance posture in ECC and instantly map those requirements to S/4HANA. This ensures you can prove compliance to auditors on Day 1 of your new system’s operation.

Can Onapsis help us validate the work of our System Integrator (SI)?

Yes. SIs are under immense pressure to deliver quickly, which can sometimes lead to security shortcuts or misconfigurations. Onapsis acts as an independent quality assurance platform, automatically scanning every transport and configuration change delivered by your SI. This allows you to verify that their work meets your internal security standards before you accept it into your production environment.
