Independent, reasoning-first practice for the SAP® C_SEC Security Administrator certification, built for the 2026 System-Based Assessment format.
Who it's for: Security administrators and basis, authorization, and identity professionals — plus consultants and project-team members moving into an SAP security role — who want a recognized associate credential proving they can apply core authorization and security concepts across SAP S/4HANA Public and Private Edition as a mentored member of a security or implementation team.
The SAP® C_SEC certification checks whether you hold the general, working knowledge expected of a Security Administrator responsible for protecting SAP systems. It centers on authorization and security concepts across SAP S/4HANA in both Public and Private Edition, and on turning that understanding into practice as part of a project or security team. The scope reaches from security fundamentals and infrastructure protection through the ABAP authorization model, role design and maintenance, SAP Fiori authorizations, user and business-role administration in the public cloud, SAP Cloud Identity Services for authentication and provisioning, and user and privilege management in SAP HANA. Because it is delivered as a System-Based Assessment with a single guided activity, the exam rewards applied execution — carrying out administration and configuration tasks in a live system rather than answering isolated recall items — at an entry-level, project-participation depth.

The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
Grasping the core concepts and tooling used to secure SAP landscapes across cloud and on-premise deployments — computer-security basics, infrastructure-level protection, secure access and authentication, transport-layer security such as SSL, single sign-on, and the key-management and monitoring services that underpin a hardened environment.
Working with the classic authorization model that governs application access — its elements and terminology, authorization checks, user maintenance, and building single, composite, and derived roles — together with basic settings, authorization traces, transporting authorization objects, and central user administration across the landscape.
Managing access for the SAP Fiori experience on SAP S/4HANA — the Fiori authorization model, business catalogs, spaces and pages, launchpad content, and the special authorizations it requires — plus analyzing missing or CDS-view authorizations and understanding launchpad deployment and integration options.
Setting up and administering user access in the public cloud — the cloud authorization concept, business and technical user maintenance, importing users to Identity Authentication, developing and restricting business roles from templates, derived roles, and handling role impacts and changes that follow a system upgrade.
Understanding and configuring the Identity Authentication and Identity Provisioning services on SAP BTP — customizing the login process, defining provisioning systems and system types, applying transformations, managing entities, and knowing the standards and identity providers involved in cloud identity and user provisioning.
Administering database-level security in SAP HANA and SAP HANA Cloud — user-management terminology and object-ownership rules, the different user types, creating and modifying user accounts, defining authorization roles and role groups, assigning privileges, and organizing users into user groups.
Positioning access governance and compliance across on-premise and public-cloud editions — SAP Access Control and Identity Access Governance, their integration scenarios, and awareness of data-privacy and cybersecurity offerings such as threat detection that surround an SAP security administrator's responsibilities.
