DataStreamHub
The DataStream Hub creates complete transparency in the critical data processing workflows of your SAP systems. It combines three key elements in one hub: SAP interfaces, SAP audit logs, and SAP data exports – including monitoring, analysis, and policy-based control.
Interface transparency: Centrally monitor and classify RFC/SNC, ALE/IDoc and HTTP(S) data flows
Audit log analysis: Correlate and filter security-relevant events in SAP audit logs and forward events to the SIEM in a targeted manner.
Export transparency: track all SAP file exports – including context-sensitive logging
Export blocking: preventing unauthorized exports through policies before data leaves the system
Integration into SIEM/ITSM: Transferring events, alarms, and reports into existing processes
Challenges in SAP operations
Opaque interfaces
Connections to external systems are often not centrally documented or evaluated.
Lack of automatic data classification and labeling
Data is often exported and further processed manually – without any binding or automated classification regarding sensitivity or need for protection.
Incomplete access control outside the network
As soon as data is stored locally or shared via email, traditional access control systems lose their effectiveness – especially outside the corporate network.
High manual effort
Data collection and reporting are often carried out via individual lists, queries, or spot audits.
Lack of integration into Security Operations
SAP-relevant events do not reliably reach SIEM/SOC processes.
DataStreamHub as a solution
Central data collection across system boundaries
Interfaces, logs and exports in a consolidated view.
Complete transparency
Continuous monitoring instead of one-off checks.
Risk-oriented evaluation
Whitelisting, filtering, and correlation reduce noise and focus on critical signals.
Auditability by Design
Audit-proof protocols and standardized reports.
Seamless integration
SIEM forwarding, alerting and ITSM ticketing for end-to-end processes.
DataStreamHub
Making data flows visible.
Identify risks early.
Passing audits is easier.
Make data flows visible. Identify risks early. Pass audits more easily.
Gain a company-wide overview of critical SAP data flows, strengthen governance and reduce operational risks – with a central transparency and control layer for interfaces, audit logs and exports.
SAP Interface Monitoring
Keep track of all background data transfers – both internal and external – and identify security-critical or unwanted connections early on.
Monitoring of RFC, IDoc and HTTP data flows
Security classification of connections (e.g., critical, internal, external)
Whitelisting internal communication to reduce irrelevant events
Statistical evaluation and trend analysis (e.g. per system, interface, target)
SAP AUDITLOG
ANALYTICS
Analyze and correlate SAP audit logs to detect suspicious patterns, unauthorized activities, or compliance deviations early on.
Central collection of security-relevant audit log events
Rule-based detection of anomalies (e.g., unusual user activity)
Correlation with system and context information (system group, client, role)
Audit reports for internal audit and external auditors
DATA EXPORT MONITORING
DataStreamHub monitors all file exports from SAP in real time. Every action is logged contextually to ensure complete transparency regarding the handling of sensitive data.
Real-time logging of all file downloads from SAP
Context-based detection of sensitive content (e.g., finance, HR, customers)
Automatic documentation for audits and compliance
Connection to central SIEM systems for alerting in case of anomalies
DATA EXPORT
BLOCKING
Automatically block unauthorized exports before sensitive information leaves the system. Approvals can be role- and context-controlled.
Policy-based blocking of exports for defined data classes
Role-based and context-based access control in SAP
Flexible escalation mechanisms for exception approvals
Logging of all block and exception decisions (audit trail)
INTEGRATION
SIEM: Forwarding of security-relevant events (e.g., Azure Sentinel, Splunk, IBM QRadar)
ITSM: Ticket creation and workflows (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira Service Management)
Export/data policies: Can be mapped via role- and context-based policy definitions.
USE CASES
Interface risks: identifying unknown external targets, unusual data volumes, or new communication paths.
Audit preparation: traceable log analyses instead of manual log collection.
Export governance: Transparency regarding who exports which data and when – and the option to prevent critical exports.
Security Operations: Integrating SAP events into SOC processes, including alerting and documentation.
