Strengthen DevSecOps
for SAP
Accelerate software delivery without introducing risk. Embed automated security testing directly into your development pipelines to catch vulnerabilities where they start.
The Conflict Between Velocity and Security in SAP DevSecOps
Enterprises are under immense pressure to execute digital transformations quickly, but integrating security into this fast-paced cycle is a critical challenge. In the complex world of SAP DevSecOps, manual reviews simply cannot keep up with the volume of development, leading to major barriers, including:
Onapsis security solutions resolve these conflicts. We replace time-consuming manual reviews with automated assessments that integrate seamlessly into internal workflows, third-party deliverables, and automated pipelines.
Build Security Into Your SAP DevSecOps Lifecycle
Onapsis Control empowers you to “Shift Left,” building security into the earliest phases of the development cycle to find and fix issues when they are easiest and least costly to resolve.
Developer-Centric “Spell Check” for Security
- The Problem: Developers often treat security as an afterthought because they lack tools that support SAP languages and frameworks.
- How We Help: We bring security directly to the developer. Onapsis integrates with SAP-standard environments, including ABAP Workbench, SAP HANA Studio, and SAP Business Application Studio, to flag issues in “real time” as code is being written.
- The Value: Developers identify and fix common code errors instantly without leaving their environment, preventing vulnerabilities from ever reaching the testing phase.
Inspect and Block Bad Transports
- The Problem: Once a bad transport creates a system issue in production, there is no easy “roll back” feature; the process to rewrite and reimport is manually intensive and disruptive.
- How We Help: Our Control for Transports capability automatically inspects transports for harmful or incorrectly configured content before they are released. We integrate with SAP ChaRM to automatically block risky transports from advancing.
- The Value: You prevent critical security, compliance, and performance issues from entering production, avoiding unexpected system outages.
Validate Third-Party Deliverables
- The Problem: You are paying for custom code from external integrators, but you have no visibility into whether it is secure or compliant until it is too late.
- How We Help: Onapsis provides a way to validate the work of third parties automatically. We analyze external code and transports to ensure they adhere to the same secure coding standards required of your in-house employees.
- The Value: You gain code transparency for all development sources, ensuring that outsourced projects do not compromise your security posture.
Automate Remediation
- The Problem: Finding bugs is only half the battle; fixing them manually diverts valuable resources away from innovation.
- How We Help: Onapsis Control doesn’t just find problems; it fixes them. We provide detailed remediation instructions and automated code correction for common errors.
- The Value: You reduce investigation and remediation times, allowing your team to accelerate development efforts and meet aggressive project timelines.
1. Establish security, compliance and quality baselines
2. Analyze SAP custom code for security, compliance and quality errors during development
3. Automate code correction for identified errors
4. Inspect transports to check and improve completeness of development packs
5. Analyze SAP custom code for security, compliance and quality errors before you release to production
6. Block risky transports and code from introducing vulnerabilities into production systems
7. Assess deployed custom code to ensure no security, compliance and quality issues have been introduced to production systems
8. Assess for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to prevent security and compliance gaps
9. Lock and block critical SAP configuration changes that could introduce security issues or take systems out of compliance
10. Continuously monitor user access and activity for suspicious behavior, such as privilege escalation or authorization misuse and abuse
11. Receive near real-time alerts for suspected threats and system attacks

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Onapsis support secure development practices for cloud-based systems?
Onapsis supports secure development for cloud environments like SAP BTP by integrating directly with SAP-recommended IDEs, such as SAP Business Application Studio, to provide real-time feedback. Additionally, it connects to Git repositories and CI/CD pipelines to scan cloud-native code and ensure it is secure before deployment.
Does Onapsis offer any tools for secure software development?
Yes. Onapsis Control delivers automated application security testing specifically designed for SAP. It integrates with popular development environments and change management systems to analyze both internal and third-party custom code and transports. This allows organizations to identify vulnerabilities in real-time, automatically remediate common code errors, and prevent issues that could impact security, compliance, or system performance.
Does Onapsis offer solutions for monitoring changes in enterprise applications?
Yes. Onapsis On Change Control secures and simplifies the SAP change management process by integrating detailed security scanning directly into SAP Change Request Management (ChaRM). It automatically scans ABAP code and transport changes to identify vulnerabilities, allowing you to view detailed findings and prevent risky changes from advancing to production. This ensures thorough approvals and reduces production risk without slowing down release cycles.
What does “Shift Left” mean in the context of SAP DevSecOps?
“Shifting Left” refers to building security testing into the earliest possible stage of the development cycle, rather than waiting until the end. By identifying issues during development, code can be created faster, “cleaner,” and more securely, preventing negative impacts on system security and performance later on.
Does Onapsis support custom code developed by third parties?
Yes, Onapsis provides visibility into code created by external partners by automating assessments for third-party custom code and transports. This ensures that contractors and systems integrators adhere to the same secure coding standards as internal employees before their code is accepted.
