For a recent S/4HANA RISE go-live, sapcyberx conducted the penetration test in Week 1 of UAT. The report and risk-ranked remediation roadmap were in the customer's hands before UAT test cycles began — 27 critical and high findings closed pre-cutover, zero impact to the UAT test cycle or project activities. Extended remediation assistance and full retest included.
Illustrative based on typical engagement outcome. Results vary by landscape complexity.
How we test
- 01
Scope & SAP Engagement
SAP NDA. KBA 3080379 Service Request support. Rules of Engagement signed.
- 02

System inventory, service enumeration, profile parameter baseline. Network exposure mapping — external port scan, RFC destinations, Cloud Connector endpoints, Web Dispatcher and SAP Router configuration.
- 03
Application Layer
RFC, Gateway, ICM, Web Dispatcher, Fiori, OData.
- 04
Identity, Code & Infrastructure
Identity federation attacks — SAML, OIDC, OAuth token abuse, MFA bypass. ABAP custom code — automated static and dynamic analysis accelerators applied. HANA privilege escalation. WAF validation. DNS and TLS certificate review.
- 05
Reporting & Retest
CVSS findings. Three-Bucket Method™. Retest for higher-severity findings.
