More than two thirds of SAP users believe their organizations put insufficient focus on IT security during previous SAP implementations, while 53.4% indicated that it is 'very common' for SAP security flaws to be uncovered during the audit process.

74.0% expect IT security to take greater priority in future SAP deployments, with 89.6% agreeing that security specialists should be brought on board to support their SAP S/4 HANA transformation programs.

Richard Hunt, managing director at Turnkey Consulting, said: "The findings of this survey mirror our day-to-day experiences; SAP security is often an afterthought on SAP deployments, with the result that not enough time and resource is allocated to the essential security activities that need to take place throughout the project."

Turnkey undertook its inaugural SAP research to determine organizations' preparedness as the SAP landscape undergoes a time of transition and the deadline to adopt SAP S/4 HANA approaches.

The SAP ERP offers extensive user benefits in terms of increased interconnectivity and mobility, but risks leaving SAP applications and infrastructure open to exploitation.
