5 – Understand security standards and how they apply to your SAP workload
How do you define the security standards and controls to align with the criticality of your SAP workload? Standards are published documents that define the policies and procedures required to secure your systems following best practices for a product, organization, industry, or jurisdiction. They provide a framework against which your SAP workload can be evaluated. Some standards are mandatory to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, while others are optional but help with establishing roles and responsibilities.
