Security Consulting Expertise

Test your SAP estate the way a real attacker would.

Generic application penetration testing misses the protocols, components, and authorization patterns that actually expose an SAP estate. We test SAP specific attack paths under realistic conditions, report findings with reproduction steps and remediation guidance, and validate every closed finding on retest. No SAP relationship, no tool reseller motive.

What we do

Four pillars of credible SAP penetration testing.

Whether you are responding to a regulator request, preparing for a critical release, or running annual third party validation, our SAP penetration testing work spans four pillars from scoping through retest.

Area 01

External attack surface testing

We map and test the externally exposed SAP surface, from Internet facing Fiori and Web Dispatcher to gateway, message server, and RFC endpoints reachable from outside your perimeter.

  • Internet facing SAP component discovery
  • ICM, Web Dispatcher, and Fiori testing
  • Exposed RFC, gateway, and message server testing
Area 02

Internal authenticated testing

We test the SAP estate from inside the perimeter as an authenticated low privilege user, modeling the most common insider and post compromise attack patterns.

  • Authorization escalation paths from common roles
  • RFC destination abuse and credential harvesting
  • Privilege escalation via configuration drift
Area 03

BASIS and protocol level testing

We exercise BASIS, protocol, and infrastructure layer attack paths that generic application testing misses, including DIAG, RFC, P4, and ICM specific issues.

  • DIAG, RFC, and P4 protocol specific testing
  • BASIS configuration and patch level validation
  • Database, host, and network attack path testing
Area 04

Reporting and retest

We deliver findings with reproduction steps, business impact rating, and prescriptive remediation guidance, then revalidate every closed finding on retest at no additional fee.

  • Findings with reproduction and impact rating
  • Remediation guidance prescriptive to your estate
  • Retest of closed findings included in engagement
Our approach

Our five step SAP penetration testing methodology

Whether you are running annual validation or one off testing ahead of a critical release, our engagements follow the same five phases.

01

Scope

Confidential scoping with rules of engagement, target inventory, and authorized test windows.

02

Reconnaissance

Discovery of in scope components, external exposure mapping, and authenticated user baseline collection.

03

Test

External, internal authenticated, and BASIS protocol level testing across defined target landscape.

04

Report

Findings report with reproduction steps, business impact rating, and prescriptive remediation guidance.

05

Retest

Revalidation of every closed finding included in the original engagement at no additional fee.

Global insurance group surfaces twenty critical SAP findings missed by prior testing

"Three prior penetration tests reported no critical SAP findings. SAPAudits ran a focused SAP specific test, surfaced twenty critical findings across RFC, gateway, and authorization paths, and walked our security team through reproduction and remediation. The retest cleared every closed finding."
