SAP Security Is Our Expertise -
We See the Bigger Picture in IT Security

At Xiting, we understand that SAP systems don’t exist in isolation. That’s why our security monitoring approach bridges the gap between SAP-specific risks and your broader IT security landscape – enabling end-to-end visibility, smarter threat detection, and stronger collaboration between SAP teams and customer enterprise non-SAP SOC (Security Operation Center).

We help you secure your most critical assets without losing sight of the bigger cybersecurity strategy.

What is NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 is a set of guidelines developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to help organizations identify, assess, and reduce cybersecurity risks. The framework is built around six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover – providing a structured and flexible approach to strengthening your overall cybersecurity posture.

With the release of version 2.0, the framework now applies to organizations of all sizes and industries. It also places increased emphasis on governance and supply chain risk management, reflecting the evolving threat landscape. At Xiting, we help organizations implement this framework effectively – with a strong focus not only on governance and protection, but also on the detection and response functions.

Our mission: to help you identify threats in real time and respond rapidly, before they escalate into costly incidents.

Challenges

Security Monitoring in SAP environments presents unique challenges that many organizations are still working to address.

Compliance & Regulatory Uncertainty

Effective Threat Detection Without Business Disruption

Limited Resources delay SAP threat detection and response

End-to-End Incident Response & Integration

Lack of SAP Security Expertise

Advanced Persistent Security Threats

Streamline Your SAP Security Monitoring Journey - From Strategy to Execution

To address these challenges, we designed Xiting SAP Security Monitoring Journey specifically tailored for SAP environments. Based on our experience and focus on SAP Security Monitoring solutions, the model helps organizations structure their journey toward effective, scalable, and use-case-driven monitoring – across On-Prem systems (ABAP, HANA, JAVA) as well as SAP Cloud solutions such as SAP BTP.

First-Time SAP Security Monitoring Implementation
We deliver a focused Proof of Concept (PoC) based on Xiting Security Monitoring Solutions, designed for organizations starting their SAP security monitoring journey. The PoC focuses on achieving initial visibility and basic threat detection by onboarding relevant SAP log sources (e.g., Security Audit Log, SYSTEM Logs), activating core use cases, and integrating with your existing SIEM. It offers a real-world introduction into SAP Security Monitoring, helping you assess feasibility, value, and next steps toward a full-scale implementation.

Efficient & Compliance-Ready SAP Security Monitoring & Incident Response
Enable robust, scalable SAP security monitoring aligned with compliance requirements such as SOX, GDPR, or ISO 27001. This includes efficient alert triage, clear escalation workflows, and standardized incident handling tailored to SAP-specific threats. Leveraging our Xiting Security Monitoring Solution, you gain a solid foundation for SOC readiness, with two possible deployment scenarios:
  • Operate a standalone SAP SOC and SIEM using Xiting`s solution for full-stack visibility.
  • Integrate SAP Security Monitoring into your existing SIEM architecture, enriching your central SOC with SAP-specific intelligence.

SAP Security Monitoring as a Managed Service (SOCaaS)
Deliver end-to-end SAP Security Monitoring as a fully managed service — covering everything from log collection and threat detection to analysis, response recommendations, and reporting. The Xiting Managed Service operates according to a defined SOC operation model (e.g., 24/7, 8/5, or custom TBD) with a flexible cost structure and service-level agreements (SLAs), such as guaranteed reaction times for critical alerts. This approach significantly reduces internal effort while ensuring professional, continuous SAP threat monitoring tailored to your business needs.

Empowering SOC Teams with SAP Security Expertise
Support existing SOC teams with deep SAP security expertise, ready-to-use detection content, and targeted SAP-specific training. This unique offering from Xiting focuses on hands-on enablement, combining real log examples, guided alert triage, and practical exercises based on real-world SAP threat scenarios (e.g. Insider Threats, Data Breach, Privilege Escalation). The goal is to close the SAP knowledge gap and enable your internal analysts to independently investigate and respond to SAP-related security incidents. Our practical approach is the key differentiator — tailored to SOC workflows and based on operational experience from real environments.
