Enhanced data security with custom development
In open source enterprise management systems, experienced hackers are already at home, because they have public access not only to useful plug-ins, but also to the code responsible for possible data security gaps. The biggest data security advantage of custom-developed ERP systems is that the closed source code is guaranteed to remain the company's own property.
The data security advantage of custom ERP development is that
● minimizes the risk of phishing damaging the company's reputation,
● completely own protocol system and encryptions can be developed in it,
● increases customer confidence with accurate privacy policies,
● provides continuous security configuration and threat management,
● Team members can learn company-specific security practices more easily.
In addition, the unique ERP development also increases customer trust, because in the closed system, new and old customers can be guaranteed to keep their data safe.
Cloud-based ERP development for concentrated data storage
Although the cloud-based systems They can be accessed from a variety of devices and anywhere in the world, yet in practice they collect business data in one place. This is good because company files are not physically dispersed on employees' devices, so the risk of cyber attacks is also reduced.
Cloud-based ERP development also provides timed backups and a fast backup process, so data important to your company cannot be permanently deleted due to inattentive errors.
ERP development with well-thought-out privileges
Data leakage can be the result not only of hacker attacks, but also of improperly allocated privileges. If sensitive data gets out on the internet, it can lead not only to a time-consuming recovery process, but also to a loss of revenue due to mistrust. Therefore, it is worth thinking about the organizational structure already at the initial stage of ERP development.
A timely list of contact details of employees and management increases data security because the ERP development team can even create a completely different control panel for trainees, different departments and senior managers.
Restriction of data export
Data is more likely to fall into unauthorized hands if colleagues can download company files to their own devices. In ERP development, export can also be blocked with a number of settings and tracking user activity, or even set according to privileges.
Regular license check
Choosing the right ERP development company is very important, because experienced experts are not only perfectly aligned in their own code, but are also aware of the license terms of any third-party software and extensions that may be integrated.
At AP4 Digital, for example, we check the data security of the systems involved in ERP development in several test stages, so the customer should not be surprised during any audit. This is also important because improper use of licenses can limit or, worse, eliminate access to data.
Two-factor authentication
To use complex enterprise management systems in 2023, a single password is no longer enough, because the exclusive access point is much easier to attack.
Data security can already be significantly increased with highly cost-effective two-factor authentication (i.e. 2FA), but it is important that 2FA is no guarantee against phishing if IoT devices or integrations continue to operate with single-factor authentication.
