SAP HANA Development & Secure Coding Standard

Enforceable SAP HANA secure-development standard — object naming, calculation-view analytic privileges, SQLScript injection prevention, definer-mode control, and XS security. Grounded in the HANA security baseline.


Turn your SAP HANA secure-development policy into enforceable rules for models, procedures, and applications.

Standards make secure development real — the specific, checkable rules for building HANA content that is least-privilege and injection-safe.

This standard covers the full HANA development surface: object naming and classification, repository/HDI design, calculation-view analytic privileges, SQLScript and definer-mode procedure security, XS application security, input validation, secret handling, and governed transport — grounded in the SAP HANA Secure Configuration Baseline.

Every requirement area maps to OWASP, the NIST Secure Software Development Framework, and CWE, so it is defensible.

What this replaces

  • Ad-hoc interpretations of “secure enough” in HANA models and procedures
  • Generic secure-coding checklists that don’t understand calc views, analytic privileges, and SQLScript
  • Weeks of a specialist authoring your HANA development standard

What you get

  • A configurable Microsoft Word standard — fully editable, professionally formatted, and ready to adopt:
  • 13 enforceable requirement areas plus framework alignment across HANA development
  • A definer-versus-invoker execution-mode matrix and an injection-safe SQLScript pattern catalogue
  • A per-object-type control matrix (calc views, procedures, packages, HDI containers, XS/XSA) and an analytic-privilege-in-calc-view specification
  • A prohibited-pattern list, an XS/XSA security-header and route specification, and object naming with worked examples
  • A code validation and release checklist ready to embed in review
  • Framework alignment (OWASP, NIST SSDF, CWE) and both Organization and Consultancy license editions
