SAP security cannot be an afterthought for SAP product implementations. The security considerations and security planning should be done at the initial design stage. There are three underlying aspects to all security infrastructure layers – data integrity, user access, and user authorization. It is important for the company implementing SAP products to determine which users can log in securely, how should the log in process be, what are the data the user can view, what the user can do with the data after access is granted, how are the data secured and protected, and how will the data exchange occur back into SAP.
