An expert-built SAP control-tiering standard – categorize every SAP system by criticality and apply security controls in proportion, tied directly to your SAP configuration baseline.
Not every SAP system needs the same controls. This standard gives you a defensible way to categorize each system into a criticality tier and scale your security controls accordingly – the most critical systems get the strongest protection and effort goes where it matters. It maps the 21 environment tiers in your SAP baseline to three criticality tiers and defines the control expectations for each.
Building that in-house means reconciling impact-based categorization with your SAP landscape and control set, then keeping it consistent. This standard gives you a defensible, ready-to-adopt version today.
What this replaces
- A senior SAP security or GRC consultant building an equivalent control-tiering framework: typically 40-80+ hours to research, structure, and align.
- Generic risk-tiering guidance: not tied to SAP environments, the SAP baseline, or the SAP control domains.
What you get
- A configurable Microsoft Word standard – fully editable, professionally formatted, and ready to adopt:
- Complete standard – the tiering model, the 21-environment mapping, classification criteria, assignment process, and the control-expectations-by-tier matrix.
- Built to customize – bracketed placeholders (recertification cadence, patch SLAs, review cycle) so you can tailor it in minutes.
- Framework alignment – mapped to NIST FIPS 199 and SP 800-53 control baselines and ISO/IEC 27001.
- Directly implementable – ties to the SAP Security Configuration Baseline and the governing SAP policies.
