2 Project Overview

2.1 Description

The Infrastructure & Security module provides the foundational technical infrastructure, security framework, integrations, and DevOps capabilities that support all SAS modules. It includes authentication & authorization, data security & encryption, audit logging, API management, integration framework, data warehouse & ETL, backup & disaster recovery, monitoring & alerting, performance optimization, and DevOps automation. This module ensures the system is secure, scalable, reliable, and compliant with data protection regulations while providing seamless integrations with external systems and comprehensive operational visibility.

2.2 Objectives

  • Ensure data security through encryption at rest and in transit
  • Maintain comprehensive audit trails for compliance
  • Provide RESTful API framework with rate limiting and versioning
  • Enable seamless integrations with external systems (Sage ERP, payment gateways, TIRA, etc.)
  • Build data warehouse with ETL pipelines for analytics
  • Implement automated backup and disaster recovery
  • Provide real-time monitoring, alerting, and performance metrics
  • Optimize system performance and scalability
  • Automate DevOps processes (CI/CD, deployment, infrastructure as code)
