SecureBird

SAP HANA Secure Configuration Baseline

Establishes the governance framework, requirements, and control standards necessary to define, implement, and maintain secure configuration settings across SAP HANA database environments to protect data integrity and confidentiality, enforce database-level access controls, and reduce the risk of unauthorized access, data compromise, and system exploitation.

The expert-built hardening standard for SAP HANA — 100+ database security controls across 21 environment tiers, each with the recommended value, where to configure it, and how to verify it.

Securing SAP HANA means getting scores of settings right — global.ini, indexserver.ini, and nameserver.ini parameters, authentication and identity providers, database and standard users, auditing, and data/log/backup encryption — consistently, across every system and environment. HANA holds your most sensitive data, yet its security configuration is often inconsistent, undocumented, and dependent on one person’s knowledge.

Building your own reference means working through SAP’s HANA security guides, cross-referencing SAP Notes, and deciding the correct value for each parameter in each environment — then keeping it current as HANA evolves.

What this replaces

  • A senior SAP security consultant building and maintaining an equivalent baseline: roughly 60–120 hours at $200–$350/hour — $15,000–$35,000+, before ongoing upkeep.
  • SAP’s own security documentation: free, but spread across multiple lengthy security guides — not a ready-to-implement, tiered workbook with recommended values and validation steps.
  • Security guides and books: helpful background, not a configured, audit-ready control set.
  • What takes a specialist weeks — and tens of thousands of dollars — is ready today for $2,295.

What you get

  • A structured Excel workbook containing:
  • 100+ HANA security controls — each carrying SecureBird’s recommended best-practice value, allowed values, a field for your organization’s own required value, the HANA parameter or SQL to configure it, and the system view or SQL to verify it.
  • Environment tiers — enforce stricter settings in production than in sandbox, QA, or training.
  • Coverage across global.ini / indexserver.ini / nameserver.ini / xsengine.ini parameters, authentication, database and standard users, auditing, and encryption (data, log, and backup).
  • Built for SAP HANA 2.0 (on-premise) and SAP HANA Cloud — controls SAP manages in HANA Cloud (encryption at rest, network, and backup/replication) are marked HANA Cloud: N/A in the workbook.
  • Every value is grounded in SAP hardening practice and made verifiable — nothing invented.
