Anyone recently take the SAP C_SEC_2405? How hands-on is it really?

#1

Hi all,

I’m planning to take the SAP Certified Associate – Security Administrator exam (C_SEC_2405) and wanted to hear from those who’ve gone through it recently. A few questions:

  • How much of the exam is practical configuration versus conceptual/theory?
  • Do I need hands-on experience with SAP GRC, user roles, authorization objects, or system security settings?
  • Are there any topics that tend to be tricky or unexpected?
  • Which study resources (SAP Learning Hub, official guides, community blogs, practice questions) were most effective?

Any advice from recent test-takers would be really appreciated!

You would likely be better off asking on a SAP forum…

I completed the C_SEC_2405 exam earlier this year and here is what helped me prepare:

  • The test leans heavily on real world situations. A lot of questions are framed around identifying the correct authorization setup or resolving an access issue within a common SAP environment.
  • It pays to be comfortable with core transactions like SU01, PFCG, SUIM, and with how authorization objects behave in different contexts. Basic GRC exposure is also very useful.
  • Items related to cross system trust, audit requirements, and SoD controls were deeper than I expected, so review those carefully.
  • I used SAP Learning Hub, official guides, community writeups, and Study4Exam practice questions, which helped me get used to the scenario style questions and spot weak areas.

If you focus on practical security tasks, not just lists of features, the exam becomes much more manageable.
