Retailer/Portal Owner Responsibilities

At a high level, retailers/portal owners are responsible for:

  • Understanding Oracle's security policies.

  • Implementing their own corporate policies by using Oracle tools.

  • Creating and administering users by using Oracle tools.

  • Ensuring data quality and enforcing end-user devices security controls, so that anti-virus, malware and other malicious code checks are performed on data and files before uploading data.

  • Ensuring that end-user devices meet the minimum security requirements.

To securely implement Supplier Evaluation Cloud Service, retailers/portal owners and their implementation partners should read this document to understand Oracle's security policies. This document summarizes information and contains links to many other Oracle documents.
