Maintaining SAP Data Security in Life Sciences
In the life sciences industry, data is central to everything—whether it’s research, development, manufacturing, or most importantly, patient care. SAP systems are packed with critical information, from clinical trial results and proprietary drug formulas to batch records and patient safety data. And it’s not just important; it’s heavily regulated by laws like HIPAA, GDPR, and a host of other country-specific rules. A security breach in SAP can lead to major consequences: financial losses, regulatory fines, damage to your reputation, and worst of all, loss of patient trust and safety.
SAP data security in life sciences is more than just a technical box to check; it’s an ethical and legal must, and it calls for a smart, layered approach that blends technology, processes, and strategy.
