// About us

We help organisations protect, modernise, and simplify their technology landscape through specialist expertise in SAP security, AI security, cybersecurity, auditing, and systems rationalisation.

Our SAP security services cover access governance, role design, segregation of duties, identity and access management, security hardening, vulnerability management, and regulatory compliance. We also help organisations adopt AI securely by assessing data protection, model access, privacy, third-party risks, responsible AI controls, and the governance required to protect sensitive business information.

Through cybersecurity assessments and audits, we identify control weaknesses, security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and operational risks across applications, infrastructure, cloud platforms, and business processes. Our approach supports recognised standards and regulatory requirements, including ISO 27001, GDPR, SOX, SOC 1 and SOC 2.

We also rationalise complex application landscapes by identifying duplicated, outdated, vulnerable, underused, and high-cost systems. We assess each system against business value, technical risk, integration dependencies, cost, security, and future strategic requirements. This enables organisations to consolidate platforms, reduce technical debt, improve security, lower operating costs, and establish a clear, future-ready technology roadmap.

// What we do

Three practices, engineered to work as one system.

Most consultancies sell you a silo. We connect the platform you run on, the intelligence that improves it, and the security that protects it — so each investment compounds the others.

// Practice 01

SAP GRC & Security

Governance, risk and compliance built into SAP — by a team that has implemented these exact products across enterprise estates for nearly two decades.

  • GRC: Process Control, Risk & Audit Management
  • Identity Access Governance (IAG) & Access Control
  • SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD)

// Practice 02

AI Consulting

Applied, governed AI that earns its place in production — Claude-powered insights on AWS Bedrock, wired safely into your SAP, risk and audit data.

  • Claude insights & copilots on AWS Bedrock
  • AI over GRC, audit & threat-detection data
  • Governance, evaluation & safe deployment

// Practice 03

Cybersecurity

Defence built for enterprise reality — protecting SAP, cloud and identity layers with continuous monitoring, response and compliance you can evidence.

  • SAP & cloud security hardening
  • Threat detection, response & SOC
  • Risk, audit & ISO/GDPR compliance

// SAP Security · Hardening

Hardening for SAP systems

Out of the box, SAP is built for connectivity, not security. Default users, open RFC gateways, permissive authorisations and unmonitored logs leave the systems that run your most critical processes exposed. We systematically reduce that attack surface across every layer of the SAP stack.

Default SAP is not secure SAP.

We benchmark your estate against the SAP Security Baseline and industry best practice, rank every finding by exploitability and business risk, then remediate — from profile parameters and gateway access control lists to default-user clean-up and critical-authorisation reduction.

Hardening isn't a one-off. We enable the Security Audit Log and stream it into SAP Enterprise Threat Detection, so the estate stays hardened and any drift or attack is caught in near real time.

// We harden every layer of the stack

L1

Application & authorisations

Critical access reduced, SAP_ALL removed, SU24 cleaned, unused SICF/Fiori services switched off.

L2

Communication & interfaces

RFC gateway ACLs (secinfo/reginfo), SNC, TLS, UCON and Web Dispatcher locked down.

L3

Database (HANA)

Encryption at rest, hardened DB users and roles, auditing and network isolation.

L4

OS & infrastructure

Host and kernel hardening, file and directory permissions, patching and segmentation.

L5

Monitoring & response

Security Audit Log enabled and streamed to SAP ETD / SIEM for continuous detection.

Security baseline assessment

A full hardening review against the SAP Security Baseline, with a risk-ranked findings report and remediation plan.

Configuration & parameter hardening

Secure profile parameters (login/*, rsau/*, gw/*, snc/*) and system settings, remediated to a defined standard.

Patch & Security Note management

Ongoing SAP Security Note and kernel patch management, so known vulnerabilities don't stay open.

RFC gateway, SNC & TLS lockdown

Gateway access control lists, encrypted communications and Unified Connectivity to close open interfaces.

Users, passwords & critical access

Default users secured, password policy enforced, and high-risk authorisations reduced alongside SAP GRC.

Custom code security (CVA)

Code Vulnerability Analysis on your ABAP, plus secure-development guardrails for new builds.

Hardening closes the gaps, SAP GRC controls who has access, and Enterprise Threat Detection watches what happens next — three layers of the same defence, delivered as one programme or as a managed, continuously monitored service.

// Advisory · Rationalisation

Systems & Application Rationalisation

We help organisations simplify, modernise and future-proof their technology landscape through application and systems rationalisation — independent, practical advice that turns a sprawling estate into a clear plan.

We start by understanding the whole estate.

Our approach begins with a detailed review of existing applications, platforms and business systems. We identify what each system is used for, who uses it, the business processes it supports, its operating cost, integration dependencies, performance, security posture and overall strategic value.

We then assess systems for duplication, outdated technology, technical debt, security vulnerabilities, compliance risks and unsupported software — and benchmark the landscape against modern market-leading solutions, cloud platforms and emerging technologies to bridge the gap between where you are today and where you need to be.

UsageCostDependenciesPerformanceSecurityComplianceTechnical debtStrategic value

// Every system gets a disposition

Retain

Fit for purpose and strategically valuable — keep as is.

Upgrade

Right system, wrong version — move to a supported, cloud-ready foundation.

Consolidate

Overlapping tools merged to remove duplication and cost.

Replace

Swap for a modern, market-leading or cloud alternative.

Decommission

Retire unsupported or redundant systems and their risk.

// Short term

Reduce risk & cost

Decommission unsupported and duplicate systems, and close known security and compliance gaps.

// Medium term

Consolidate & upgrade

Merge overlapping platforms and move priority systems onto supported, scalable foundations.

// Long term

Modernise & scale

Adopt market-leading and emerging solutions aligned to the target operating model and growth plans.

Through our services, organisations can:

  • Reduce application duplication and unnecessary technology costs
  • Identify and address security vulnerabilities and compliance risks
  • Replace outdated or unsupported systems
  • Improve system integration, performance and scalability
  • Adopt modern, future-ready software and cloud solutions
  • Create a practical technology roadmap for transformation
  • Improve governance and visibility across the application landscape

Our goal is not simply to introduce new software. Every recommendation is aligned with your business strategy, security requirements, operating model and future growth — with a clear roadmap covering priorities, dependencies, migration options, risks, estimated costs and expected benefits.

// Optimisation · Automation

From human touch points to automation

Every process carries hidden human touch points — the moments where a person re-keys data, copies between systems, waits for an approval or chases a status. Each one adds time, cost and the chance of error. We find them, and we automate them — keeping people on judgement and exceptions, not repetitive work.

// Where a person touches the process today → what we automate
