Automated Compliance for SAP Applications
Eliminate the “audit scramble.” Automate evidence collection, streamline SOX and GDPR audits, and maintain continuous compliance for your business-critical SAP applications with the industry’s most comprehensive automation platform.
What Is SAP Compliance Automation?
SAP compliance automation is the process of replacing manual audit checks (like taking screenshots, exporting logs, and gathering spreadsheets) with continuous, automated technical validation.
Unlike manual “point-in-time” audits that only prove you were compliant on the day of the check, automated compliance continuously monitors your SAP landscape against specific regulatory frameworks such as SOX, NIST, and GDPR. This foundational component of our SAP security solutions allows audit and security teams to identify violations immediately, prove compliance year-round, and drastically reduce the cost and effort of external audits.
Key Capabilities for Effective Compliance Automation
To move from reactive “fire drills” to a proactive state of continuous compliance, Onapsis equips your teams with the following specialized capabilities:
Onapsis Comply Packs: The Audit Engine for SAP
Onapsis Comply transforms the Onapsis Assess platform into a powerful audit engine. By adding specialized Comply Packs, you can instantly apply regulatory intelligence to your vulnerability management scans.
Key Features of Onapsis Comply:
- Framework-Specific Packs: Right-size your compliance coverage with dedicated packs for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Data Privacy (GDPR), PCI DSS, ISO/NIST, and NERC CIP.
- “Traffic Light” Reporting: Generate structured reports grouped by control points (Pass/Fail) that are designed specifically to communicate status to non-technical auditors.
- Automated Validation: Verify that manual remediation steps (like configuration changes) were performed correctly without needing to log in to the system.
- Unified Dashboard: Manage compliance for SAP ECC, S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, and SAP BTP from a single pane of glass.
Achieve More Accurate Results
Eliminate the human error inherent in manual sampling. A consistent, reproducible audit process ensures every control is tested thoroughly, delivering greater report accuracy that auditors trust immediately.
Gain Efficiencies & Increase Productivity
Stop wasting hours on manual data collection. Automate the tedious tasks of audit investigation to free up your team for strategic projects, helping customers drive productivity gains of up to 90% in their compliance efforts .
Realize Immediate Savings
Slash the costs associated with manual audit preparation and external auditor fees. By automating evidence collection and reducing manual workloads, organizations can significantly lower the operational cost of compliance and reduce the billable hours required by external auditors for review.
Avoid Violations or Audit Findings
Don’t wait for an auditor to find a problem. Get ahead of the audit cycle by proactively assessing your systems against regulatory requirements daily. This continuous visibility helps you avoid surprises and the crippling costs associated with non-compliance, which can average $14.82 million annually according to recent 2025 industry reports on the cost of non-compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions: SAP Compliance
How does Onapsis ensure ongoing compliance for business applications?
Onapsis moves you away from “point-in-time” compliance to Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM). Instead of checking controls once a year, the Onapsis Platform automatically tests your IT General Controls (ITGCs) and configurations continuously. This allows you to detect “configuration drift” (where a system falls out of compliance due to a change) and fix it immediately, rather than waiting for an auditor to find it months later.
Can Onapsis help with compliance requirements specific to certain industries?
Yes. Onapsis offers specialized Comply Packs tailored to many specific industry regulations. This includes NERC CIP for the utilities and energy sector, PCI DSS for retail and payment processing, and SOX for public companies. We also support general frameworks like ISO and NIST that are widely used across healthcare and manufacturing.
What are the key benefits of using Onapsis for enterprise cybersecurity and compliance?
The primary benefit is the unification of Security and Compliance. By using Onapsis, you achieve:
- Efficiency: A significant reduction in manual audit efforts.
- Visibility: A clear view of compliance gaps across on-premise and cloud (RISE/BTP) systems.
- Cost Savings: Lower external audit fees by providing automated, “audit-ready” evidence reports.
How does Onapsis streamline audit preparation?
Onapsis automates the collection of audit evidence. Instead of your team manually logging into systems to take screenshots or export logs, Onapsis automatically generates structured reports grouped by control points. This allows you to hand auditors a “Traffic Light” report (Green/Red status) that clearly proves your compliance posture, saving hundreds of hours of preparation time.
Does Onapsis replace SAP GRC?
No, Onapsis complements SAP GRC. SAP GRC is excellent for managing user roles and Segregation of Duties (SoD) at the business logic level. Onapsis focuses on the IT General Controls (ITGCs) and technical configuration of the underlying platform (OS, DB, Application). We act as the “technical check” that ensures the system running your GRC rules hasn’t been tampered with or misconfigured.
