23. ABAP programs
Review ABAP programs to ensure that all system function calls are authorized. System function calls allow are Unix commands that are passed to the operating system to perform a task at the operating system level such as using Oracle SQL commands to query the database during the execution of an ABAP program.
24. Review all SAP userids at the Unix operating system level. (etc/passwd and etc/group files)

28. Correction and Transport (CTS)
Control types
Default Changes are allowed in corrections. Changes to SAP-provided objects require a repair correction
No Change Changes are not allowed
Repairs Repairs are allowed but all must have corrections and all corrections are flagged as repairs. Other types of changes are allowed with or without corrections.
Unlimited Any changes are allowed with or without corrections. No corrections are flagged as repairs
CTS Type CTS Changes
Development Default
Integration No Change
Consolidation No Change
Recipient No Change
Determine if change control procedures are formally documented.
Determine if separate instances have been defined for development and testing
Determine who is responsible for transport administration
Ensure that control tables are properly established
TSYST defines all systems to be used in CTS
TASYS defines all recipient systems
TDEVC defines all development classes
Use transaction code SE06 for CTS verification
Use Transaction code SE38 to review the placement of programs in authorization groups
- SE38 select attributes and select display
29. Determine who has the capability to add user master records.
S_USER_GRP and S_USER_ALL
30. Determine who can maintain profiles.
S_USER_PRO
31. Determine who can maintain autorizations.
S_USER_AUT
32. List all SAP supplied profiles and authorizations that have been modified and review for completeness.
33. List off the system parameter file (RSPARAM) and review the authentication controls
- login/min_password_lng
- login/password_expiration_time
- login/fails_to_session_end
- login/fails_to_user_lock
34. Determine how the profile SAP_NEW is being used.
35. Review SAP for any new objects/values that have been defined
Review changes to table AUTH for new fields and table TOBJ for new objects
36. Determine if all users have been assigned to a group. (Table USR02)
37. Determine that the SAP* profile has a user master record and that SAP* has had its password changed and added to the SUPER group. Also determine if the password has been stored in a secured location in case of an emergency.
38. Determine who are the members of the SUPER group and ensure that their membership is required.
39. Determine how many users have SAP_ALL access in the production environment. List all users with the following standard system profiles:
SAP_ALL All R/3 privileges
S_A.SYSTEM All SAP system functions
S_A.ADMIN System administration
S_A.CUSTOMIZ SAP customizing system
S_A.DEVELOP SAP development environment
S_ABAP_ALL All authorizations for ABAPs
TOOLS>ADMINISTRATION>USER MAINTENANCE>USERS>MAINTAIN USERS>INFORMATION>OVERVIEW>USERS> profile name >LIST>PRINT

42. Determine who has batch access
S_BDC_MONI
S_BDC_ALL
S_BTCH_ADM

S_BTCH_USR
Batch log files (bdc/logfile) should be reviewed and any deletions, modifications, or abended sessions subject to investigation and should be secured through the correct use of the operating system security.
43. List users with authorization for SM04, SM50 (S_TSKH_ADM) which grants access to the transaction locking function. Determine which transactions are locked on the production system by viewing additional authority checks in table TSTC (Tools>Administration>Tcode Administration). Ensure that at a minimum the following transactions are locked:
SE01 Correction and transports
SE38 Ability to execute ABAP programs
SE11 Maintain data dictionary objects
44. Determine if the parameters for the trace and log files are adequate
With the RSPARAM report, review the rstr/* and rslg/* parameters
If a transaction cannot finish correctly, the system rolls it back. The dialog program first generates a log record in the VBLOG table.
Transaction SM21 or Tools>Administration>Monitoring>System Log
Selection Criteria:
Date/Time – To – Date/Time
By User, Trans Code, SAP Process, Problem Classes (Messages)
45. Determine if Spool access is properly restricted.
Verify who has the authorization object S_ADMI_FCD, S_SPO_ACT, and S_SPO_DEV
46. Determine if backup procedures are appropriate for data and programs
On-line and off-line backups of all the file servers can be controlled through the CCMS. Access to these transactions should be restricted, because these transactions can causes all file servers to shut down.
Is access to the SAP archiving function restricted. (Verify which profiles have access to transaction F040).
47. Determine who has access to the SAP customizing system (IMG, menu customizing)
S_A.CUSTOMIZ The profile gives all authorizations required for the Basis activities in the customizing menu. (Table USR10 gives an overview of all authorization objects in a profile.)
