Data Controls<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Following the previous article on software access controls and their functionality, in this article we explain how DCision ERP<\/strong><\/em><\/span> software controls access to data<\/span><\/span>. This is a complementary subject since part of the control over the data is done through access controls which prevent unauthorized persons from accessing features presenting certain data<\/span><\/span>. Now let’s look at the controls to prevent other software from gaining access to the data or worse, modifying it<\/span><\/span>. Although less well known to users than the functionality access controls, they are just as important, especially in this more or less mature<\/span><\/span> \u00ab Cloud Computing \u00bb era<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Databases <\/span><\/span>Controls
\n<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Since databases are used to store the financial data of your companies, it is essential to prevent access to this data by<\/span><\/span> \u00ab external \u00bb software or by individuals who obtain, for example, a copy of your backups<\/span><\/span>. Our software uses a Progress mechanisms to allow only your users to access data<\/span><\/span>. In addition, users only have access to data through our software and not through any other mechanism<\/span><\/span>. Indeed, SQL and\/or ODBC connections or connections from other software developed in Progress cannot access the data without an agreement with us.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Control Over Data Passing Through the Network<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Some data that we target is encrypted before passing through the network between the server, the workstations and external servers to avoid being intercepted by<\/span><\/span> \u00ab packet sniffer \u00bb software that can be used to obtain data, like<\/span> passwords for example<\/span><\/span>. Obviously, users who work remotely (Remote Desktop) or in<\/span><\/span> \u00ab Cloud Computing \u00bb mode use secure connections<\/span><\/span>. Finally, the transfer of data with external sites, for example the transfers of data with a bank for bank reconciliation is also done in secure mode (SFTP)<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

History of Changes of Data Entry<\/span><\/span> (E-records)<\/h3>\n

Finally, although this is not a data access control but a control which is related to it, let us mention the control of modifications to records which makes it possible to know which user modified which record, when<\/span> and by what value<\/span><\/span>. The same principle applies to the creation and deletion of records<\/span><\/span>. This control is mainly used for permanent lists (customers, suppliers, products, etc.) since financial transactions cannot be modified once entered, the corrections being made by reversals or by adjustments.<\/span><\/span> But it is also available for certain Operations Management transactions, that is, for purchase order forms, production orders and for any modifications to lot \/ serial numbers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, this is what is in place to discourage unauthorized people from accessing data and those with access from entering potentially fraudulent transactions into the DCision ERP<\/span><\/strong><\/em> software without leaving a trace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
