            Hi Helge,

            well, I got now the iOS App to do Payment Approvals. I took a while to download the app.

            Do you have any experiance regaqrding security issues? Meaning the SAP App for Payment Approvals is installed on a iPhone / iPAD but on the same device Whats App could be installed, too.

            Or does any policy exist, that such Apps like ‘Whats App’ could not be installed?

            Kind regards,

            Michael

              Hi Michael,

              some comments from my side:

              1. All apps on an iPhone are sandboxed. There is no hidden data access from one app to another. Whats App can never access data from SAP Payment Approvals (or vice versa)
              2. Some apps allow data access from other apps if you allow this explicitly (the build in app Contacts is an example for that).
              3. With SAP Afaria you can enforce security policies on all devices that are “enrolled”. For example, enrolment may not be possible / kept if Whats App is installed. The respective iPhone will not connect the corporate net in this case. Consequently SAP Payment Approval will not connect to the ERP backend system.
              4. All data held locally in SAP Payment Approval (mainly for performance buffering) is encrypted within the app.
              5. You can protect the SAP via an app passcode (can be enforced by central IT): Even if someone finds you iPhone and it is “open”, starting SAP Payment Approvals will require to enter an app specific pass code.

              Best regards,

              Helge
