Information security policies and processes
SAP’s security framework focuses on the three cornerstones of secure products, operations, and the company (see the figure). Secure products put the focus on delivering software to our customers that meets the highest levels of security standards with continuous vigilance regarding vulnerabilities and rapid action to remediate issues. Secure operations add another layer to protect data at the level of internal networks, infrastruc-ture, and ecosystem and prevent security lapses within SAP’s internal operations. Secure company facilitates a culture of security at SAP, where employees and associ-ates understand their role in helping secure SAP and its customers for success in the digital economy.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls

Vulnerability management approach
SAP’s security-patch management process mitigates threats and vulnerabilities. SAP’s security team rates security patches based
on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System standard for operating systems, databases,and virtualization in cloud services. Critical

Incident management approach
Incident management process that is aligned with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27035:2011 information security principles.

Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

SAP is committed to a future sustainable world and acts as both an exemplar and enabler of sustainability. In 2021, for the 15th consecutive year, SAP was named the Software Industry Leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index - https://news.sap.com/2020/11/dow-jones-sustainability-indices-sap-again-leads/. SAP is committed to fighting climate change by reducing carbon and other emissions. SAP is on track to be Carbon Neutral by 2023 and Net Zero by 2030. In line with UK Public Sector guidance SAP has published a Carbon Reduction Plan at:
https://www.sap.com/uk/documents/2021/12/561cff41-0a7e-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html
On any G-Cloud Contract, SAP will create a Social Value Action plan in collaboration with the buyer. Progress will be reviewed and the plan will be refreshed annually. For fighting climate change, we expect that this plan will include:
• ensure renewable energy is used in the data centres providing the services and that all services will be 100% carbon neutral from the first day of service.
• offer a workshop to the buyer’s team on the sustainability features of the product that has been purchased and / or the wider SAP suite of sustainability offerings such as the Sustainability Control Tower.
• Work with the buyer’s team to promote the free, high-quality learning about sustainability that is available and free to any member of the public on the Open SAP learning portal at https://open.sap.com.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

On any G-Cloud Contract, SAP will create a Social Value Action plan in collaboration with the buyer. Progress will be reviewed and the plan will be refreshed annually. To help local communities to manage and recover from the impact of COVID-19, SAP is able to support buyers in several areas. As part of the Social Value Action plan, SAP will:
• To support re-training and other return to work opportunities for those left unemployed by COVID-19, particularly new opportunities in high growth sectors. SAP will offer a range of free on-demand and facilitated training to communities served by the buyer. This will be delivered free using the Open SAP learning portal at https://open.sap.com. Currently available courses include topics like Circular Economies, Opportunities from a Digitally Transformed Economy and New Work and Purpose.
• SAP offers buyers support in key areas for social value relating to COVID 19 Recovery – new ways of working to deliver services; support for the physical and mental health of people affected by COVID-19 and improved workplace conditions such as remote working and sustainable travel solutions. As part of the Social Value Action plan we will offer a workshop to explain the support we can offer and add tasks to the plan where appropriate.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

There are two themes outlined in the guidance relating to this area of social value - Create new businesses, new jobs and new skills; and increase supply chain resilience and capacity.
With respect to skills, as part of the annual Social Value Action plan:
• SAP will offer a range of free on-demand and facilitated training to communities served by the buyer. This will be delivered free using the Open SAP learning portal at https://open.sap.com. Currently courses cover a range of in demand skills in the IT industry such as Artificial Intelligence, Analytics and Application Development. For these courses, where relevant, SAP will also provide access to technical platforms at no charge so that students may complete the practical learning components of each course.
With respect to increasing supply chain resilience and capacity, as part of the annual Social Value Action plan:
• SAP will offer to brief the buyer’s procurement and finance teams on the opportunities relating to the SAP Ariba Procurement offering. This could include on-boarding the buyer’s suppliers to the Ariba Network, a €3.2TN marketplace for suppliers where they can grow their businesses. SAP Ariba Procurement also offers capabilities around supplier risk management to ensure that the buyer’s supply chain achieves the desired level of resilience. The guided buying capabilities of SAP Ariba Procurement also allow the buyer to make it easy for staff to support and comply with organisational social objectives, for example spending with sustainable enterprises or local small businesses. SAP will also share our learnings from 5 by 5 in ’25, an initiative designed to encourage organizations across industries to direct more of their addressable spend toward certified social-enterprise and diverse-business suppliers. https://news.sap.com/2020/10/sap-launches-55by25-purposeful-procurement/
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

SAP is committed to being one of the most diverse and inclusive software companies in the world. We proactively promote diversity, inclusion, and social justice and work to ensure that our workforce reflects the gender parity and demographics of all the regions where we have employees. We make every effort to ensure that all stages of the employee lifecycle are inclusive to enable employee success. As part of the Social Value Action plan, SAP will:
• Propose a Social Innovation Workshop to explore areas of equal opportunity and look at how we approach diversity and inclusion to see how a shared approach with the buyer could help the buyer’s staff and communities that the buyer serves. For example SAP supports the following organisations and initiatives:
• Pro-bono for economic equity – through this economic equity programme, SAP aims to support Black-owned businesses and social enterprises by leveraging corporate talent to help them to build capacity and address systemic and business challenges;
• Generation Success - SAP partners with Generation Success, a Social Mobility focused Not for Profit to remove barriers to employment for individuals from diverse backgrounds;
• Enactus UK – SAP is the Platinum technology partner for Enactus UK, giving access to one of the UK’s largest innovation and entrepreneur networks in the UK. Enactus allows teams of students all over the country to work together to find innovative solutions to social issues within their local and international communities;
• SAP Autism at Work programme - launched in 2013, this programme leverages the unique abilities and perspectives of people with autism to foster innovation as we help customers become intelligent enterprises. The program taps into an underutilized talent source, reducing barriers of entry so qualified individuals can fully develop their potential.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

As part of the Social Innovation Workshop described in the Equal Opportunity section, SAP will include the theme of ‘Wellbeing’ to review optional initiatives that can be added to the Social Value Action plan. For example:
• Innovation – SAP offers clients the ability to run innovation workshops on themes that are important to clients. This is often in collaboration with users and communities who can codesign and create a proof of concept of solutions that would address specific challenges and opportunities. We will also offer free training on innovation topics via our Open SAP learning portal - https://open.sap.com. Current courses include Intrapreneurship – Employee-driven Innovation.
• Employee and community pulse – SAP is a leading provider of solutions relating to personal wellbeing. We offer to share our learnings of what works well for different challenges and situations that clients wish to explore. We can share examples of how organisations have supported the physical and mental health of their workforce. A current example would be around working practices and return to work in a post COVID pandemic world.
• Self-service and a great user experience are key principles of SAP services. We will share insights learned from working with many public service organisations and also the world’s most recognised brands on how digital services can bring people and communities together. These insights may then trigger actions that can be added to the Social Value Action plan.
