Terms
- Security and accessAudit trail
-
An immutable history of who changed which record and when. “We fixed it” is not enough; without a trail the action does not exist in an audit.
See also: Role-based access (RBAC), KVKK (Turkish data protection law)
- Security and accessBackup
-
Taking regular copies of WMS data and actually testing a restore. A backup that is never opened does not exist in a disaster.
See also: Disaster recovery, RPO and RTO
- Security and accessChain of custody
-
A signed, time-stamped record at every hand-off of high-value or evidential goods. A broken chain produces loss and a dispute over responsibility.
See also: Traceability, Physical access, Seal
- Security and accessDisaster recovery
-
Where and how fast work restarts when the system or site is unusable. If the plan stays on paper, everyone falls back to memory in an outage.
See also: Backup, RPO and RTO, Offline mode
- Security and accessDual control
-
A critical action that cannot pass without a second user’s approval. Used for high-value goods, scrap, negative stock and bulk adjustments.
See also: Segregation of duties (SoD), Scrap
- Security and accessEncryption
-
Keeping data unreadable in transit and at rest. If RF devices, APIs and backup files are unencrypted, physical theft is also a data leak.
See also: Backup, KVKK (Turkish data protection law)
- Security and accessLeast privilege
-
Giving a user only the screens and actions needed to finish the job. Rights opened “in case we need them later” grow the error and abuse surface.
See also: Role-based access (RBAC), Segregation of duties (SoD)
- Security and accessMulti-factor authentication (MFA)
-
A second proof besides the password (app, SMS, key). A password-only admin or remote login leaves warehouse data exposed.
See also: Single sign-on (SSO), Role-based access (RBAC)
- Security and accessPhysical access
-
A record of who entered the warehouse, cage, pharma or high-value area and when. If system rights and door rights do not match, control is only half done.
See also: Role-based access (RBAC), Chain of custody
- Security and accessRole-based access (RBAC)
-
Granting rights through a role (receiver, picker, supervisor, quality) rather than one by one. Role bloat is everyone getting every screen.
See also: Segregation of duties (SoD), Least privilege
- Security and accessSeal
-
A single-use mark showing a vehicle, container or cage was not opened. If the number is not written in the WMS or shipment record, the seal is useless.
See also: Loading, Chain of custody
- Security and accessSegregation of duties (SoD)
-
Stopping the same person from both doing and approving a move. If pairs such as adjust+approve or count+close are not split, internal control disappears.
See also: Dual control, Role-based access (RBAC), Stock adjustment
- Security and accessSingle sign-on (SSO)
-
Entering the WMS once through the company identity. If a leaver is not cut at the centre, the warehouse account stays open.
See also: Multi-factor authentication (MFA), Role-based access (RBAC)
