An audit-ready, framework-mapped SAP change & transport governance policy — the governance and control requirements your SAP security program needs, ready to adopt and tailor to your organization.
Establishes an enterprise-grade SAP change and transport governance framework that enables organizations to manage and execute changes across SAP environments with control, discipline, and accountability. Designed for complex landscapes, this policy bridges the gap between enterprise change management expectations and SAP-specific risks, including unauthorized changes, weak segregation of duties, improper transport sequencing, and limited traceability. It defines the governance model, change classification and approval requirements, development and transport controls, testing standards, and monitoring expectations required to ensure controlled change execution, protection of production environments, and full auditability across all SAP systems and supporting infrastructure.
Writing that from a blank page means researching the risks, drafting control requirements, and mapping them to NIST CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and more — then keeping it current as your landscape and obligations change.
What this replaces
- A GRC analyst or security consultant drafting and maintaining an equivalent policy: many hours at $150–$300/hour — often $3,000–$8,000+ for a single defensible, SAP-aware policy.
- Generic enterprise policy templates: not SAP-aware and not mapped to your SAP landscape, roles, and controls.
- Starting from scratch: weeks of research and drafting to make it accurate, defensible, and audit-ready.
