SAP for Public Sector:
Public Security Solutions for Private Sector
Private sector organizations leverage SAP solutions to adapt and innovate through informed business decisions by effectively managing risk based on new threats. Only SAP has in-depth capabilities that major industries can use to effectively partner with governments to ensure not only protection of life, property, and business – but also social and economic stability and prosperity.
How the Private Sector Benefits
SAP solutions support security needs of private commercial organizations, particularly in logistics, emergency management, or information sharing. Private companies support government with resources to enhance emergency response – and receive essential information affecting continuity of operations. Government shares challenges that affect critical infrastructure, business services, and community health with private industry to coordinate comprehensive, tighter security of private and public interests.
Many industries benefit from SAP solutions that support public security in the following sectors:
-
Critical infrastructure – Government emergency control of transportation flow and nonessential operations may affect other critical government functions – and the public. Proper coordination among private companies, port authorities, and government can ensure that citizens’ risk is minimized during evacuations or closures of transportation infrastructure.
-
Support of security interests – Governments must ensure that companies support security interests. Checks may involve ensuring that terrorist organizations or criminals do not use the free market economy to move goods. Airports and seaports must effectively manage screening of people and goods.

Health – Private companies must be accountable to governments for public security compliance. Areas include epidemiology and reporting for preventing disruption of business as usual caused by disease outbreaks, pandemics, safety of food, medicine, or water supply, and proper disposal of hazardous waste.
Addressing Supply Chain Risk Issues
To maintain security for the public and for the economy, it's important to bridge information silos. Together, private sector and governments must understand the entire "portfolio of risk" before making decisions that could have long-term, harmful effects.
