In any engineering organisation, product data is dispersed across multiple departments which makes it vulnerable to unauthorised access. In the design of an automated system, enforcement of this access mechanism throws open the primary challenge in ensuring safety of each modules and the content inside. Challenges in security design initiates from the entry of users to the system. Security aspects for user access hold the key in safeguarding the content and data inside. However, management of this requires a holistic approach in letting the user traverse only through pre-defined modules, data categories with well-defined access mechanisms. Success of this modular security design will eventually lead to an efficient storage mechanism for the data inside and user friendly traversal and operational mechanism for the user.
