• Key Concepts: 
  Quality of Protection (QoP) is a security feature in SAP BC-SEC Security that allows users to control the level of security for their data. It is based on the concept of “security levels”, which are assigned to each user and determine the level of access they have to certain data. QoP also allows users to set up different levels of encryption for their data, depending on the sensitivity of the information.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Quality of Protection, users must first assign security levels to each user. This can be done by setting up a security profile in the SAP BC-SEC Security system. Once the security levels are set up, users can then assign different levels of encryption to their data, depending on its sensitivity. For example, highly sensitive data can be encrypted with a higher level of encryption than less sensitive data.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up Quality of Protection, it is important to remember that the higher the security level assigned to a user, the more access they will have to sensitive data. Therefore, it is important to ensure that only trusted users are given access to sensitive data. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update security levels as needed.
