SAP HANA Secure Development & Application Security Policy

This policy establishes the governance framework, requirements, and processes for securing development and application security on SAP HANA — SQLScript and stored procedures, calculation views and analytic privileges, XS and XSA applications, repository and HDI-container objects, and the secure development lifecycle.


An audit-ready, framework-mapped SAP HANA secure development and application security policy — the governance and control requirements your SAP security program needs, ready to adopt and tailor to your environment.

A defensible SAP HANA secure development and application security policy must define clear governance and control requirements across your HANA landscape, map cleanly to the frameworks and regulations you are held to, and still fit how your organization actually operates.

Writing that from a blank page means researching HANA-specific risks, drafting control requirements, and mapping them to NIST, ISO, CSA, SOC 2, and more — then keeping it current as your landscape and obligations change.

What this replaces

  • A GRC analyst or SAP security consultant drafting and maintaining an equivalent policy: many hours at $150–$300/hour — often $3,000–$8,000+ for a single defensible, SAP HANA-specific policy.
  • Generic database or cloud policy templates: not HANA-aware and not mapped to tenants, roles, privileges, and the persistence layer.
  • Starting from scratch: weeks of research and drafting to make it accurate, defensible, and audit-ready.

What you get

  • A configurable Microsoft Word policy — fully editable, professionally formatted, and ready to adopt.
  • Complete policy — 9 governed sections defining the SAP HANA secure development and application security requirements, control expectations, and accountability across the platform.
  • Secure SQLScript and stored procedures, invoker/definer-rights control, and analytic-privilege design that cannot be bypassed.
  • Secured XS/XSA applications, governed repository and HDI-container deployment, and a secure development lifecycle with code review.
  • Roles & Responsibilities with First- and Second-Line accountability, plus framework, regulatory, and assurance mappings ready for audit.
  • Built to customize — bracketed placeholders such as [Organization Name] and [Control Frequency] — and grounded in SAP HANA security practice, not generic boilerplate.
