A uniform regulation for the protection of personal data has applied throughout the European Union: the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Companies in particular have had to deal intensively with this subject and still must if they haven\u2019t already. This especially affects companies whose focus is on digitised business processes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Information lifecycle management \u2013 always GDPR<\/em>-compliant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The GDPR obliges companies to ensure that personal data is only used within narrow limits and deleted after certain periods across all processes. In concrete terms, this means you have to precisely define which employee in a process may have which access to certain personal data and for how long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second challenge in complying with GDPR relates to organizing the right to information that every customer has towards a company according to article 15 GDPR. Pursuant to this provision, an organization must disclose to a customer all personal data and metadata stored about the data subject if such information is requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the third challenge in implementing the GDPR is that companies must of course continue to comply with statutory retention periods for a wide variety of documents when handling personal data, such as those arising from tax, commercial or HR law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news for businesses is that SAP\u00ae provides a solution in its ERP system with Information Lifecycle Management (SAP ILM), supporting organizations in this new data challenge. In this blog post, we\u2019ll show you how best to proceed so you can move ahead confidently when it comes to all things GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you use easy archive<\/a> in combination with an SAP ERP system \u2013 and are therefore required to archive in compliance with the GDPR? Then your search is at an end. easy has the right interface between easy Archive and the leading SAP ERP system: easy WebDAV for ILM<\/strong>. Do you want to know how easy WebDAV for SAP ILM works?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much, if not most, of the data in numerous places in SAP has a personal reference or can occasionally be related to a person. Master data such as the central business partner, the customer, the supplier and employees generally contain identifying characteristics, such as name, address and phone number. Therefore, the data and documents in SAP are subject to the requirements of the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the customer must implement technical measures<\/strong> that meet the requirements of deleting and \/ or blocking such personal data<\/strong>. These technical and organizational measures (TOM)<\/strong> specifically include the implementation of SAP Information Lifecycle Management \u2013 in short: SAP ILM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the creation of a comprehensive blocking and deletion concept<\/strong>, the definition of a valid lifecycle management of data and documents and the use of SAP ILM, the company receives the ability to meet the requirements for the mandatory implementation of the GDPR. By doing so, fines for specific violations of data protection<\/strong> are permanently avoided, and financial risks<\/strong> are minimized. Furthermore, the company obtains an effective lifecycle management of its data and can thus meet the requirements of digitization much more robustly.<\/p>\n\n\n
