Business Honor

Onapsis is a specialized company that provides cybersecurity and compliance solutions only for SAP enterprise applications. Onapsis positions itself as an essential partner for businesses that are in the process of migrating to SAP enterprise applications as part of their digital transformation. It provides businesses using these complex environments a reliable, focused response to their cybersecurity needs. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, like SAP, constitute the foundation upon which modern businesses operate and manage their most sensitive operational and financial information; they are becoming increasingly more complex as businesses migrate away from traditional datacenter-based solutions and to modern cloud-based products like S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, and SAP Business Technology Platform.
Onapsis offers three categories of solutions that together protect SAP systems comprehensively: Transformation Security, Compliance Automation, and Incident Response. By taking an in-depth, specialized approach to the architecture of SAP technology, Onapsis develops solutions for secure and robust protection of an organization’s mission-critical business applications. Onapsis’ endorsement by SAP and its ongoing placement in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security set it apart from other solutions in the cybersecurity space. The Onapsis Research Labs are established with the leading SAP security researchers in the world and they continually enhance the range of defense strategies that respond to the constantly changing threat landscape.
SAP Solutions Offered by Onapsis
Accelerate SAP S/4HANA Transformations
Companies are experiencing an entirely new level of difficulty while trying to upgrade their business operations by transitioning to SAP S/4HANA as part of their Enterprise Digital Transformation. As an essential software development partner to enterprise clients engaged in this migration process, Onapsis has developed a complete Cybersecurity solution that addresses the most urgent issues directly related to digital transformation. The transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA presents enterprises with many obstacles such as resource limitations, security risks, and disruption of services. To mitigate these risks, Onapsis provides automation tools that remove the risk from the migration process.
The Onapsis Platform integrates into a customer's development environment and serves as an Intelligent Security Sentinel to protect against legacy vulnerabilities and minimize risk on all newly created systems. Through Automated Risk Identification and Remediation, the Onapsis solution identifies security anomalies in real time, enabling enterprise customers to take appropriate action regarding their security posture. Through using Onapsis, enterprises can reduce their technical debt by simplifying the way they transform their Business Solutions to SAP S/4HANA while ensuring complete cooperation between system integrators and independent assessments of their work product to validate compliance with security requirements established by third party deliverables.
Automated Compliance for SAP Applications
Many of the traditional audit processes, which involved taking manual screenshots and were sporadic at best, are becoming obsolete very quickly. They have developed a new method of managing compliance that shifts from reactive "fire drills" to continuous and proactive compliance monitoring. Their compliance automation platform not only uses continuous control monitoring to provide real time technical validation. This is a major shift from point-in-time assessments that only provided momentary views of compliance, as it provides continuous control monitoring that will identify and notify you of any possible violations in real time. This change will drastically alter the way organizations view and manage regulatory requirements.
The Onapsis Comply Packs enable security teams to translate complex regulatory requirements such as SOX, GDPR, NIST, and PCI-DSS into technical configurations that can be implemented quickly and easily. Security teams no longer have to worry about the complexities of complying with regulations and have access to immediate visibility of their compliance posture without the need for costly third-party consultants. Customers using Onapsis have reported significant improvements in efficiency, including as much as a 90% reduction in time spent performing manual audits. By eliminating configuration drift and continuously monitoring compliance, the Onapsis Platform helps organizations maintain continuous compliance, effectively transitioning compliance from an event that occurs periodically to a part of an organization's integrated business process.
Expert SAP Incident Response and Recovery
As the premier incident response partner for SAP, Onapsis provides a distinct mix of proprietary technology and unrivaled human expertise in the area of incident response. Onapsis offers businesses a holistic, consistent method for investigating, mitigating, and recovering from any potential security breaches. To ensure the speed and efficiency of their client’s response, Onapsis' well-respected Incident Response Team, providing a wide variety of SAP-focused capabilities, combines decades of hands-on experience with the incident response landscape to deliver on-demand assistance for SAP systems when every second counts. In contrast to traditional tactical responses, Onapsis provides a complete forensic review and assessment of SAP environments in a proactive manner.
Onapsis bridges this critical gap by offering a specialized response strategy that goes beyond surface-level threat management. The company's approach integrates deep technological understanding with strategic threat intelligence, enabling organizations to not just respond to incidents, but to preventatively identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities. Their team of expert researchers continuously monitors the threat landscape, developing predictive models that can anticipate and neutralize potential security risks before they escalate. Rather than treating security breaches as isolated events, the company views them as part of a broader ecosystem of technological risk management.
