Confidentiality

Data confidentiality ensures that data is protected from unauthorized access and disclosure, and that personal privacy and proprietary information is protected.

Account management

Protecting access to your data is a central requirement in regulated environments. The integrated account management feature of PLA 3.0 allows you to set up unique user IDs and passwords, thus limiting access to authorized individuals.

In PLA 3.0, password settings are part of the database policies. That is, you can set up individual rules for each of your databases.

The following table provides an example of valid entries for all password policy options of PLA 3.0:

Rights and permissions

PLA 3.0 provides the features you need to control access to your data in a sophisticated and compliant manner. It combines role-based user rights with resource-based permissions, which enables you to exercise fine-grained control over who can perform particular tasks in a given context and which tasks are allowed with particular data.

Note: For details on the underlying concepts and available settings, see the Rights and permissions topic.
