Enterprise cybersecurity and compliance specialist Onapsis has added new automated product functionality to its Onapsis Security Platform to cater for GDPR compliance mandates, which will come into effect from May 2018.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU regulation which concerns the protection of EU data subjects’ personal and sensitive information. Recent research conducted by the UK and Ireland SAP User Group shows 86 per cent of SAP users do not fully understand how GDPR will affect their SAP landscapes and how to reach compliance.
Onapsis’ new functionality will allow customers to quickly evaluate if their SAP systems are meeting the requirements of this mandate to protect EU data subjects’ information.
“In speaking to our customers, we know that GDPR is a complicated mandate and many organisations are struggling to determine if or how their SAP landscapes are relevant. With this in mind, Onapsis’s newly released audit policy within the Onapsis Security Platform automatically evaluates any SAP system through the lens of the data protection requirements of the GDPR. This includes both data at rest, data in transit and the assessment of data access or authorisations,” said Alex Horan, director of product management, Onapsis.
By using this policy, enterprises can identify SAP systems that do not have adequate protection of the data and processes, and receive detailed guidance on how to address these security gaps.
