A Cybersecurity Assessment by Layer Seven Security is a proactive, evidence-driven service designed to identify and remediate vulnerabilities across your SAP landscape. As an Approved SAP Services Partner, we leverage the SAP-certified Cybersecurity Extension for SAP (CES) to deliver deep-stack visibility into system configurations, custom ABAP/UI5 code, and security compliance.

Whether you are migrating to SAP RISE / Cloud ERP, S/4HANA, or SAP BTP, our assessments mitigate the security-related delays in transformation projects by ensuring your environments meet rigorous standards for security and comply with frameworks such as SOX, GDPR, NIST, and mandatory SAP RISE hardening requirements.
