Overview
Protecting sensitive information and ensuring data privacy have become high priorities. News headlines about the increasing frequency of stolen information and identity theft have focused awareness on privacy breaches and their consequences. In responding to these issues, data privacy regulations have been enacted around the world. Failure to ensure data privacy compliance can result in millions of dollars in financial penalties and jail time. Companies also risk losing customer loyalty and destroying brand equity. The impact is serious enough to put a company out of business.

Companies rely on critical SAP® applications to support daily business operations, so it is essential to ensure privacy and protect application data no matter where it resides. However, the same methods that protect data in production environments may not meet the unique requirements for non-production (development, testing and training) environments. How can IT organizations protect sensitive data, including employee and customer information?

This whitepaper will cover:

▪ What’s a stake – how today’s privacy regulations impact your enterprise applications
▪ How data masking integrates into an overall Data Governance strategy
▪ Industry best practices for de-identifying SAP application data for effective development & testing
