Organizations often fall prey to the dangerous misconception that their SAP systems are secure simply because they’re not published to the internet. The reality? Your attack surface extends far beyond your immediate SAP environment, and insider threats pose one of the highest risks to organizations. Understanding your true attack surface requires looking beyond the application level to examine the complex web of interconnected systems that make up your SAP ecosystem.
NO MONKEY’s Advanced Testing Methodology
Let’s be clear: penetration tests don’t happen with the click of a button. At NO MONKEY, our SAP penetration testing detects weaknesses and vulnerabilities through continuous reconnaissance. While tools help us dig through the noise and identify low-hanging fruit, our grey-box methodology dedicates over 60% of testing time to deep reconnaissance and enumeration — because that’s where the real, critical findings emerge.
We use automation strategically to handle routine tasks and establish baseline security postures. But the real value comes from our manual testing expertise, which mimics sophisticated threat actors’ techniques and distinguishes true vulnerabilities from false positives.
Where Others Stop, We Keep Going
We don’t just examine common technical vulnerabilities — we dive deep with business owners into critical use cases and processes. This targeted approach reveals how malicious actors or insider threats might exploit ‘normal’ business processes to manipulate data or negatively impact your SAP systems.
For example, in an organization using SAP for order-to-cash (O2C) processes, our experts collaborate with business owners to analyze workflows involving customer order creation, invoicing, and revenue recognition. Testing reveals that sales representatives with excessive permissions can manipulate customer credit limits, create unauthorized sales orders, and trigger illegitimate invoices, bypassing approval workflows. Additionally, the tester uncovers that insufficient audit logging allows these actions to go undetected. By simulating these exploit scenarios, the assessment demonstrates how a malicious insider could inflate revenue figures or funnel funds to fake accounts, potentially leading to financial misstatements or fraud.
Testing That Leaves No Stone Unturned
The SAP attack surface is huge. Vulnerabilities aren’t limited to the application level. In fact, they can be found in third-party addons, custom applications, and various interfaces. Our infrastructure assessment covers everything from operating system hardening to network architecture.
Some of our highest-impact findings come from weak configurations that can be easily mitigated — but only if they’re identified. We examine SAP proprietary network devices, database security, and network segmentation to ensure comprehensive protection.
Benefits That Matter to Your Organization
Reports should drive action, not collect dust. Instead of delivering an 80-page report that sits on a shelf, we provide actionable intelligence focused on real security improvements. Our findings include a clear roadmap and strategy for addressing vulnerabilities through a risk-based approach.
Impact assessment is crucial. Each finding is evaluated for its potential impact on your organization, enabling you to prioritize remediation efforts effectively. This business-centric approach helps justify security investments and supports compliance requirements.
What to Expect From Your Investment
Our focused assessment minimizes business disruption while ensuring comprehensive coverage. With competitive, transparent pricing and flexible delivery options, we make world-class SAP security accessible and practical.
What We’ll Need From Your Team
Success requires engagement from key stakeholders — your SAP Basis, Security, and (optionally) Development teams. We work closely with your team, providing regular updates and clear communication throughout the process.
Beyond identifying vulnerabilities, we ensure your team understands the findings and can implement our recommendations effectively. This includes practical remediation guidance and strategic recommendations for long-term security improvement.
How We Turn Insights Into Action
Our deliverables include a clear roadmap for vulnerability remediation, with actions prioritized based on business risk. We don’t just identify problems — we help you solve them with executable recommendations and ongoing support during remediation planning.
