Security
Born from our hosting practice: IT and SAP security that works hand in hand, from the infrastructure to the application.
Our modular security concept:
Avoguardo.
IT Security
The Avoguardo model shows only the core of our security philosophy – our actual range of services goes far beyond it. We don’t force your IT security into rigid templates; instead, we tailor every service to your requirements and your risk profile.
Endpoint & Operational Security
Maximum transparency and automated defense directly at system level.
24/7 managed XDR, regular vulnerability scans and controlled patch management protect your servers directly at system level – without putting ongoing operations at risk.
24/7 Managed XDR
- Real-time monitoring of all servers & VMs
- Cloud or on-premises operation
- Behavior-based protection against threats such as ransomware
Controlled Vulnerability Management
- Automated, regular vulnerability scans
- Early detection of security gaps
- Risk assessment across the entire infrastructure
- Proactive reduction of the attack surface
Patch Management
- Structured planning of security patches
- Compatibility testing
- Protection of critical applications against outages
- Controlled, low-risk update processes
Platform Security
The central control point of your operating environment.
Our SIEM consolidates all security events in one place and detects patterns that go unnoticed in isolation. Hardening based on CIS Benchmarks and consistent access management add a further layer of protection.
Security Information & Event Management (SIEM)
- Centralized analysis of telemetry data
- Source-independent event correlation
- Instant alerts for complex attack patterns
- Intelligent anomaly detection
Platform Hardening
- Infrastructure hardening based on CIS Benchmarks
- Restrictive hypervisor configuration
- Strict separation of management layers
- Monitoring of all interfaces (internal / external)
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
- Access concepts based on the principle of least privilege
- Continuous protection of admin accounts
- Enforced multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Complete logging of all activities
Network Security
Targeted shielding and strict control of all data flows.
Next-generation firewalls, strictly separated security zones and encrypted site connections ensure that only authorized data flows and that malware cannot spread unchecked.
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW)
- Operation of dedicated enterprise and application firewalls
- Deep packet inspection
- Threat prevention for real-time defense against network-based attacks
Strict Zone Design & Network Segmentation
- Segmentation into isolated security zones
- Restrictive port policies between systems
- Prevention of unauthorized data flows
- Stops lateral movement of malware
Secure Site and Cloud Connectivity
- Encrypted site-to-site connections via VPN / MPLS
- Ongoing performance & line monitoring
- Secure connection of external datacenters
- Protected, high-performance data exchange
Information Security
The organizational and physical foundation for a firm footing.
Certified datacenters, alignment with GDPR, NIS2 and ISO standards, and regularly tested backup and emergency concepts ensure that your operations also stand on solid regulatory ground.
Multi-Level Physical Infrastructure Protection
- Operation in certified datacenters
- Multi-stage access control (biometrics / mantraps)
- UPS power supply & early fire detection
- 24/7 video surveillance of all areas
GDPR & NIS2 Compliance
- Strict compliance with GDPR requirements
- Consistent alignment with NIS2 requirements
- Secure data storage on German soil in line with BSI (German Federal Office for Information Security) guidelines
- Processes aligned with ISO standards
- Audit readiness through clean documentation
Disaster Recovery & Backup Management
- Automatic backups with separate storage
- Backups based on the four-eyes principle
- Clearly defined emergency plans
- Regular restore tests to ensure RTO/RPO targets
TakeASP IT-Dienstleistungen
Treating IT security and SAP security separately falls short. Every piece of software has vulnerabilities somewhere. Anyone who wants to think ahead doesn’t rely on a single tool but stacks multiple layers of protection – from the infrastructure right down to the application.
SAP Security
Application SecuritySAP systems process your most critical business data, are highly complex and can hardly be secured completely by manual means. Our services automate this protection directly at the application level. We scan your source code, monitor activity in real time and proactively close security gaps – tailored to your SAP landscape and available as a cloud, hybrid or consulting model.
Patch, Hardening & Compliance
Sustainable landscape hardening and reliable audit readiness.
We assess every SAP security note in advance for its impact on your systems. Critical updates are applied according to agreed processes. Continuous compliance monitoring keeps you audit-ready – including with regard to NIS2 and German KRITIS.
Managed Patch Management
- Structured analysis of all relevant SAP security notes
- Upfront assessment of potential impact on your systems
- Systematic, low-risk remediation of software vulnerabilities
- Application of critical updates according to strictly agreed processes
Automated Compliance
- Simplified audits through continuous compliance monitoring
- Automatic monthly updates with newly published SAP vulnerabilities
- Transparent overview of connection paths (connection maps)
- Future-proof protection in line with requirements such as German KRITIS and NIS2
Threat Monitoring & Cloud Identity
Real-time threat intelligence and modern identity protection for hybrid scenarios.
We monitor your SAP applications around the clock. Every event is pre-qualified by our SAP experts, and you receive it in a concise format with a clear recommendation for action. For cloud and hybrid scenarios, we also operate your SAP Cloud Identity Services.
24/7 Real-Time Monitoring
- Immediate attack detection during live application operation
- Pre-qualification of all security events by SAP experts
- Compact “Arbeitsvorrat Plus” action list with clear recommendations
- Effective protection of business-critical data with minimal internal effort
Identity & BTP SaaS Models
- Design and operation of SAP Cloud Identity Services
- End-to-end protection of modern cloud and hybrid scenarios
- Monitoring platform provided as SaaS directly on SAP BTP
- Seamless, future-proof integration into your SAP landscape
Code & System Audits
Comprehensive vulnerability analysis based on best-practice standards.
We continuously check your custom developments for vulnerabilities. The result is a clear picture of your risks, with concrete measures and clear responsibilities. System audits are based on official guidelines.
Security Audits
- SAP security guidelines as the audit baseline
- Regular baseline and requirements checks
- Detailed review of central security audit logs
- Concrete mitigation and task assignment plans
Code- & Vulnerability Scans
- Continuous source code review of custom developments
- Automated detection of security vulnerabilities in the system
- Comprehensive risk analysis using clear heatmaps
- Proactive closing of system- and version-specific gaps
