Larger companies are particularly vulnerable. The complexity of SAP systems, outdated versions, heterogeneous role and rights concepts and cloud integration offer hackers a wide range of attack surfaces. The increase in specialized attacks, in which cyber criminals specifically focus on SAP structures, is a cause for concern. In view of these challenges, compliance management is becoming increasingly important. However, it is not just about adhering to legal regulations, but rather about preventing fraud and abuse, ensuring audit security and fending off threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modern solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is only possible with a system that centrally consolidates identities (users), authorizations and compliance with certain regulations. Pointsharp's compliance management suite is designed to automatically register and analyze vulnerabilities, risks and compliance violations in the SAP environment and automatically initiate measures. Let's assume that an employee is authorized to initiate orders and prepare payments. The problem here is that the employee could create a purchase order for a fictitious supplier that is deliberately below the approval threshold. The order would be released automatically and the associated payment initiated. In this way, the company could gradually lose a lot of money. The software recognizes such risky authorization combinations and, for example, activates the dual control principle or blocks the transaction. Such an automated monitoring and early warning system helps companies to operate their SAP systems securely and in compliance with regulations.<\/p><div id=\"great-1618227777\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yfv7eho3Gc\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Fullsize\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fullsize\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>To successfully implement a compliance management system, Pointsharp accompanies companies step by step: It starts with a thorough analysis of the existing authorization concepts, which identifies critical combinations and systematically uncovers current weaknesses. This is followed by the introduction of an end-to-end monitoring system with automatic warning mechanisms and the creation of audit-proof documentation of all processes. It is also essential to raise awareness and train users on compliance guidelines and ensure transparent internal communication. Permanent monitoring through regular audits of system settings, prompt adjustments to new requirements and the continuous evaluation of implemented measures ensure a high level of security in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The costs of preventive compliance management are significantly lower than the financial damage that can be caused by cybercrime. However, security must be easy to implement in order to function effectively. Modern compliance solutions such as those from Pointsharp offer the necessary protection without complicating work processes. Companies that act with foresight create the basis for a secure digital transformation of their SAP landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online to the partner entry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/partners\/sivis-gmbh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-1200x244.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148608\" style=\"width:502px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-1200x244.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-400x81.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-768x156.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-100x20.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-480x98.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-640x130.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-720x147.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-960x195.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-1168x238.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-1440x293.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-1536x313.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-2048x417.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-18x4.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/horizontal-logo-blue-pointsharp-600x122.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digitalization presents companies with new challenges\u2014especially when it comes to IT security.
