When you see your Personal Security Image you know you are at the BASF Payslip site, and not an imposter site.
Remember: You should only enter sensitive information, such as your password, if you first see your Personal Security Image. - Q.

- Q: Is Payslip completely secure?Yes. Payslip is a secure extranet site that has been developed and fully tested by BASF�s Information Services group. Payslip employs several security features including:
• A Personal Security Image to prevent phishing
• Independent security certificate (the small "padlock" icon that appears near the navigation bar)
• Complete encryption of data, meaning that what you enter (user ID, SSN, password) is encrypted on its way from your computer directly to the system of reference (SAP HR). You will see this in the form of small dots that appear as you type in your information.
• Clearing of memory data upon form submission, which prevents backing to cached pages after logging out
• System time out feature (after 30 min) to prevent misuse from an unattended computer
• Forgotten password can only be received through BASF email.
Extra Layer of Security: When you enter your SSN (first time signing on or for user ID reset), the data is not stored anywhere for anyone to see, including IT. Your SSN is only stored in the BASF SAP HR system "the system of record" as part of your personal and confidential employee record.
