Compliance
Is SDA suitable for regulated industries like food & beverage?
How does SDA help NIS2 compliance in OT environment?
The EU NIS2 Directive (implemented in Germany on 6 December 2025) requires operators of essential and important entities — including manufacturers — to implement structured change management, access controls, and incident documentation for OT systems. SDA directly supports NIS2 compliance by providing versioned change histories for all automation software, role-based access controls for engineering environments, and session-level audit logs through IDEaaS Session Recording.
How does SDA handle access control and user permissions?
SDA provides role-based access control (RBAC) at the project, repository, and action level. Permissions can be scoped by site, product line, or machine, ensuring that engineers only access the systems relevant to their role. Integration with enterprise identity providers (SSO, LDAP, Active Directory) means user lifecycle is managed centrally and access rights stay synchronized with HR and IT systems.
