Overview

Security for processes, data, and platforms that cannot stop.

SAP systems hold financial, employee, customer, and supplier data, which makes them some of the most valuable targets in any company. Protecting them takes more than firewalls and antivirus: it calls for governance, fine-grained access control, and monitoring that understands the application itself.

Grupo Intelsis works across three integrated areas. In governance, risk, and compliance, we structure policies and controls with SAP GRC Access Control, Process Control, and Audit Management. In applications and access, we handle identities, segregation of duties, hardening, and sensitive data. In monitoring, we detect threats and support incident response.

What sets us apart is combining an SAP Gold Partner's knowledge of SAP roles, transactions, and logs with enterprise security practices, while also covering non-SAP systems and AWS environments through a managed security service.

Highlights

  • SAP GRC Access Control, Process Control, and Audit Management

Why Grupo Intelsis

Security designed by people who know SAP from the inside.

  • Deep SAP authorization expertise

    As an SAP Gold Partner, we know roles, transactions, and authorization objects, which brings precision to SoD and critical access analyses.

  • SAP and non-SAP in one program

    Governance, identity, and monitoring cover ERP, business applications, and cloud, with no gaps between the SAP team and the security team.

  • Controls built on recognized frameworks

    Policies and controls aligned with the ISO/IEC 27000 family, ISO 31000, COSO, and COBIT, with audit-ready evidence.

  • Protection that doesn't slow operations

    Controls designed with business teams to reduce risk without creating approval queues or unnecessary red tape.

Focus areas

Eight focus areas to govern, protect, and respond.

We start with the risk that matters most to the business and expand in stages, across SAP, non-SAP, and cloud environments.

  • Governance and risk

    Policies, roles, and management of operational, technology, and compliance risks, with metrics for the executive committee.

  • Controls and continuous auditing

    SAP GRC Process Control and Audit Management to document, test, and monitor key controls, with a full evidence trail.

  • Access and segregation of duties

    SAP GRC Access Control for SoD risk analysis, access requests and reviews, and controlled use of emergency access.

  • Identity and privileged access

    Identity lifecycle, MFA, and privileged accounts in SAP and non-SAP systems, with SAP Cloud Identity Services and the SAP Identity Management transition.

  • Application security

    Hardening, SAP Security Notes, ABAP code analysis, and vulnerability assessment and remediation across SAP and non-SAP systems.

  • Sensitive data protection

    Masking and access logging for personal and confidential data in the SAP user interface, supporting Brazil's LGPD and audits.

  • Threat detection and response

    SAP Enterprise Threat Detection, KRIs, and anomaly detection integrated with your SIEM and SOC, with incident containment and executive reporting.

  • Managed security on AWS

    A managed security service for AWS environments: security posture, regulatory compliance, and native tools such as AWS Security Hub and Amazon GuardDuty.

Detection and response

From the SAP log to the SOC response.

How SAP security signals gain context and reach the people who need to act.

  1. Event sources

    Security Audit Log, change logs, gateway, RFC, and SAP HANA auditing, combined with events from non-SAP systems and the cloud.

    • Security Audit Log
    • SAP HANA
    • Cloud
  2. SAP Enterprise Threat Detection

    Normalizes SAP logs and applies attack patterns to identify suspicious behavior in near real time.

    • Attack patterns
    • Forensics
  3. Enterprise SIEM

    Correlates SAP alerts with network, endpoint, and identity events to add context and reduce false positives.

    • Correlation
    • Context
  4. SOC and response

    Triage, containment, and investigation with defined playbooks, clear owners, and communication with affected teams.

    • Playbooks
    • Containment
    • Investigation
  5. Governance and improvement

    KRIs, KPIs, and executive reports inform the risk committee and fine-tune controls in SAP GRC.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Cybersecurity

Why does SAP need its own security strategy?

Because SAP holds financial, employee, and customer data and has its own mechanisms, such as roles, authorization objects, RFC, gateway, and dedicated logs. Generic security tools rarely see these layers, and risks such as segregation of duties conflicts only surface through specialized analysis.

Do I need to implement every SAP GRC module?

No. Access Control, Process Control, and Audit Management solve different problems and can be adopted separately. Many companies start with Access Control to address segregation of duties and emergency access, then expand to continuous controls and audit management.

Does SAP Enterprise Threat Detection replace a SIEM?

No. SAP Enterprise Threat Detection interprets SAP logs and identifies attack patterns specific to the application, while a SIEM correlates events across the entire infrastructure. The best results come from integrating both, so the SOC receives SAP alerts with context.

Do you cover non-SAP and cloud environments?

Yes. Governance, identity, application security, and monitoring also cover non-SAP systems. For AWS environments, we offer a managed security service focused on security posture, regulatory compliance, and the platform's native tools.

How does cybersecurity support Brazil's LGPD and audits?

Through documented and tested controls, periodic access reviews, masking and access logging for personal data, and audit trails. This does not replace legal counsel, but it produces the technical evidence that auditors and data protection officers typically request.
