Architecting Trust: Owning Application Security and Compliance in Cloud/SAP RISE

Who's responsible for security when you move to RISE with SAP?

The short answer: you are. Moving to RISE with SAP changes a lot but responsibility for your application and data security stays firmly with your organisation. If you're involved in shaping your SAP landscape, this is worth understanding before problems arise. Jonathan Cooper will walk through how Onapsis helps organisations take control of their application layer security within RISE with SAP.

In this session:

Where your security responsibility actually begins in a RISE with SAP environment — and what that means in practice
How to manage risk in your custom code, and how security can be built into the SAP Activate methodology from the start rather than bolted on afterwards
A practical look at how Onapsis Assess and Defend work alongside your existing security tools — including SIEM and SOAR platforms — to automate threat detection and response
How to meet compliance requirements without making security feel like a separate workstream

A Practical Guide to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF) and the Integrated Toolchain. Got a clear business strategy — but not sure how to translate it into your SAP architecture? This session is for you.

The SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF) is one of the most powerful accelerators available to SAP customers yet many organisations aren't using it to its full potential. Ian Daniel & Duncan Bowes, SAP present this practical, hands-on session which cuts through the complexity and shows you exactly how to put EAF to work, helping you define your to-be enterprise architecture, align your technology with your business strategy, build the case for change and identify the solutions and capabilities that match your desired outcomes.

But that's only half the story. You'll also discover how to supercharge your transformation by combining EAF with SAP's integrated toolchain, LeanIX, SAP Signavio and SAP Cloud ALM, to drive transparent, value-based business transformations with clarity and confidence. Whether you're mapping processes, managing your application landscape or tracking the progress of your change programme, this toolchain brings everything together in one connected view.

Building on the foundations of the SAP Enterprise Architecture framework, this session takes a practical, customer-led look at what a SAP North Star journey truly looks like in practice led by Enterprise Architecture Community Co-Chair Callum Bromley. Moving beyond theory we explore the North Star concept through real-world examples, referencing a dedicated North Star service offering and the tangible outcomes organisations can realistically expect to achieve.

Whether you're at the start of your transformation roadmap or refining a strategy already in motion, this session offers honest, grounded insight from those who have navigated the journey themselves. Discover how to define a clear vision for your SAP landscape, align your architecture with long-term business goals and understand what success genuinely looks like, not just on paper, but on the ground.
