Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
User interface can be corporately branded by an administrator.
Role-based authorisations determine the screen layouts, views and access for each user, as defined by an administrator.
Fields, screens, components and objects can be extended (standard)and created (bespoke) by a developer using the software development kit (SDK) based on Visual Studio shell.
New fields can be created, existing fields can be relabelled and hidden by an administrator or authorised key user.
Administrators and/or key user can create data sources, reports, report views and selections based on standard and bespoke business objects.
An administrator or a developer can create and amend PDF output documents using a plug-in for Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
User interface can be personalised by end users, such as resizing and reordering results columns, saving search queries and setting these as the default query for a particular view.
End users may add additional fields to results lists and so on through personalisation, where the fields have been made available by an administrator

Scaling

Independence of resources
Combined with virtualisation, decoupling hardware from the operating system and applications, multi-tenancy occurs when many customers are served on one instance. Virtual machines (VMs) share the hardware environment, and one system can accommodate more than 100 tenants. Using adaptive computing, virtual machines are not shut down to be rescaled or updated, and changes can be made while they are running applications, with minimal downtimes. To enable this, a new VM is prepared and the application is simply “moved” to the new VM. Moving and rescaling VMs dynamically enables resource independence from the demands of other customers using the same service.

SAP has Security Information and Event Management systems (SIEM) for analysis, reporting and alerting. All critical systems and infrastructure components within the SAP Cloud need to log relevant data, which is stored for a minimum of six (6) months. This is ensured via the security configuration compliance checks and event monitoring. General security monitoring is performed 24x7 for all activities. Resulting warnings and alerts are processed via ticketing system and critical events are handled according to the incident management process

Incident management approach
All security incidents are submitted to formal event reporting and SAP follows escalation procedures based upon nature and scope of an incident. SAP leverages security incident management processes to enable the restore of service operation as fast as possible, to minimize the adverse impact on business operations, quickly controlling vulnerabilities. Security incidents are monitored and tracked in cooperation with defined communication channels until resolved. A Breach is a confirmed security incident in which sensitive, protected, personally identifiable information (PII) or confidential data is: exposed, transmitted, copied, viewed, stolen or used by an individual or a group unauthorized to do so.
