Data Access Enforcer (DAE) for SAP
NextLabs Data Access Enforcer for SAP (DAE for SAP) provides dynamic data-level security controls and fine-grained data access governance for SAP applications. Through NextLabs’ patented Dynamic Authorization platform, organizations can leverage attribute-based policy and centralized policy management to improve their security and compliance posture for SAP. DAE for SAP enforces data-level security controls – such as field-level data masking and record level data segregation and monitors data access activity directly from within the data access layer of the SAP S/4 HANA and SAP ECC.
DAE for SAP complements SAP Dynamic Authorization Management (SAP DAM), which operates at the application layers of the SAP S/4 HANA and SAP ECC. DAE is UI, API, microservice, batch job, report, Transaction, and Fiori app independent and will support any UI with a single set of policies within a single solution.
DAE for SAP prevents unauthorized access to sensitive SAP data through fine-grained data-level security controls, protecting data and addressing compliance requirements at the same time. DAE for SAP enables employees and external partners to share critical information and collaborate in business processes to improve workforce productivity and business agility.
Entitlement Manager for SAP / SAP Dynamic Authorization Management
Entitlement Manager for SAP works with the SAP Access Control application to extend role based access control using attributes about the user, the data and the environment. It enables customers to enforce business authorizations with fine-grained controls to ensure only authorized users have access to confidential information.
NextLabs Entitlement Manager is tightly integrated with SAP ERP, SCM, PLM, DMS and Business Warehouse to provide an additional layer of control to prevent unauthorized access to critical information and to restrict what users can do with the information. NextLabs also protects data in Business Warehouse and has SAP S/4HANA support. Policy-driven segregation of data ensures that information is uploaded only to specified physical content servers.
Integrated EDRM for SAP / SAP Enterprise Digital Rights Management
NextLabs Integrated Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) applies digital rights protection that follows content no matter where it goes so organizations can share their critical information internally, in the cloud, and throughout the extended enterprise, with the proper level of security controls. With Integrated EDRM for SAP, this level of protection is integrated natively with SAP Business Suite to ensure that data extracted or taken out of SAP applications is continually protected.
NextLabs Integrated EDRM for SAP offers protection to content produced in Microsoft Office applications as well as virtually all other file formats, including 2D and 3D CAD, PDF, HTML, image files, archives, source code, rich media, and more. NextLabs EDRM for SAP software delivers out-of-the-box support for SAP 3D Visual Enterprise applications and various file types supported by SAP 3D Visual Enterprise, such as 3D PDF, .RH or .VDS files. The product also provides tight integration with services for objects and document management services to enable application of digital rights to existing content in an SAP repository and set policies to protect new files as they’re stored in the repository.
Files can be classified and rights protected by the user or automatically based on rules or events. Access rights policies are evaluated in real time to determine whether access should be granted upon request. The solution is easy to use and can be accessed via a rich client, mobile app or web browser – making it very easy to scale on a global basis.
Data Loss Prevention for SAP ERP
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for SAP ECC and S/4HANA enables organizations to prevent data loss or leakage from these critical SAP ERP applications.

This helps automate global trade compliance by actively preventing violations; tracks and audits the export of physical goods, digital goods and technical data; and lowers the compliance costs associated with various export control regulations.
