Notes on protecting administrator accounts
A user with administrator privileges has extensive access and manipulation options in the
system.
Therefore, ensure there are adequate safeguards for protecting the administrator accounts to
prevent unauthorized changes. To do this, use secure passwords and a standard user account
for normal operation. Other measures, such as the use of security policies, should be applied
as needed.

2.3 Data protection
Siemens observes the data protection guidelines, especially the requirements regarding data
minimization (privacy by design). This means the following for this SIMATIC product: The
product does not process / save any personal information, but only technical functional data
(e.g. time stamps). If the user links this data to other data (e.g. shift plans) or if the user saves
personal information on the same medium (e.g. hard disk) and therefore creates a personal
reference in the process, the user has to ensure meeting the guidelines regarding data
protection.
Remote maintenance is not recommended for production and should be disabled before
production is started.
The remote maintenance settings are disabled by default. If you enable them for
maintenance purposes, disable the remote maintenance settings once again for production
in the start menu "Configuration > System", "Remote maintenance" (see configuration
settings, section "The "System" submenu (Page 87)").
