| Abstract. | Today’s business environment is highly vulnerable to private data disclosure considering the permanently increasing amounts of data used in the business and decision-making processes.

This article presents a series of protection measures available in the SAP Business Intelligence and operational systems, in form of authentication and authorizations procedures implemented for an application designed for the efficient management of employees’ data and time scheduling. |
