Show the results of the Security Optimization Service
The Security Optimization Service (SOS) is designed to check the security of your SAP system (see Introduction to Security Optimization Service (SOS) – Security health Check report).
The SOS report shows two tables with results and findings.
In the beginning you find the overview about findings which includes the count of users related to a check:
SOS Chapter – Detected Issues
Near the end you find the overview about ratings including “green” or “not rated” checks:
SOS Chapter – Rating Overview
You may want to get a cross-system overview about these tables.
Update from 27.07.2022: You can now use the same report to view the rating overview tables of the EarlyWatch Alert (EWA).
The value help (F4) on field ‘Session number’ shows SOS sessions which are not older than one year respective EWA sessions which are not older than one month.
ZSOS_OVERVIEW – Selection screen
The initial result is a cross-system list in the original order of the SOS checks.
You can rearrange, hide and sort columns getting a result like this example for 2 systems:
ZSOS_OVERVIEW – Sorted result
Excellente post, is there any possibility to display EWA in such way?
This Z-report described in this blog was specific to show the results of the SOS.
You get a cross-system view on security related alerts in the EWA with following apps in the SAP Support Portal (for the systems which send data to the SAP backbone):
EWA Workspace (Dashboard)
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/ewaworkspace
including a Security Card showing a summary about security alerts
EWA Solution Finder (EWA Alerts)
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/ewasolutionfinder
including filter options for security related categiries
You need the specific authorization "Display Security Alerts in SAP EarlyWatch Alert Workspace" via
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/user/management
The new authorization is initially assigned to super administrators only. Users can receive the authorization from super administrators or from user administrators (if they themselves got the authorization).

Anyway, it's a nice idea and I'll think about it. → see next comment
Kind regards

The EWA contains similar rating overview tables about alerts and chapters (but not about individual checks). Therefore, it was rather simple to extend the report for showing the EWA alert and chapter overview, too.
