Compliance and security in enterprise systems have never been more critical. With Malaysia’s PDPA amendments and the global push for stricter regulations, SAP users must be proactive, not reactive.
The stakes are high—non-compliance can lead to hefty fines, reputational damage, and operational downtime. Add to that the rising tide of cyberattacks targeting ERP systems, and businesses can’t afford to leave gaps in their defenses.
Key Trends to Watch in 2025
1. Stricter Regulatory Requirements
Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) has introduced amendments emphasizing stronger consent requirements, data transfer limitations, and penalties for non-compliance.
Why It Matters for SAP Users:
- ERP systems store vast amounts of sensitive data. Ensuring compliance means implementing data encryption, access controls, and audit trails within SAP environments.
- Companies must also be prepared to demonstrate compliance quickly during audits or investigations.
2. Cyber Threats Targeting ERP Systems
Cybercriminals have shifted focus to ERP systems due to the valuable data they hold. Ransomware attacks and insider threats have seen a marked increase, making security-first strategies essential.
Protective Measures:
- Continuous Monitoring – Deploy tools that monitor activity and flag anomalies.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Strengthen access points to SAP systems.
- Patch Management – Keep systems updated to close security gaps.
3. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Unplanned downtime costs businesses millions annually, and SAP systems are no exception. Disaster recovery planning has shifted from an IT afterthought to a core business strategy.
Key Considerations:
- Develop a disaster recovery blueprint that includes failover systems and backups.
- Test recovery plans regularly to ensure they meet response time objectives.
- Incorporate cloud-based recovery solutions for added resilience.
