SAP GDPR compliance: An interview with MAPA

One of EPI-USE Labs' most prestigious clients, MAPA, is a leading company in the market segments of contraception (BILLY BOY, Fromms and Blausiegel), household items (SPONTEX)
and baby care (NUK). We recently interviewed a MAPA representative about the challenges they faced around compliance with GDPR (the General Data Protection Regulation) for their SAP systems, and why they chose to implement our SAP Data Privacy Suite.

Which technical and conceptual challenges did you face in implementing the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
Why did you decide to invest in the SAP Data Privacy Suite from EPI-USE Labs?
What were the milestones in the implementation of GDPR – in particular, Article 15 (Right of Access) and Article 17 (Right to Erasure)?
What are the benefits you experience from the EPI-USE Labs' SAP Data Privacy Suite?
Is there a future strategy for the extended implementation of GDPR’s Article 5 (data minimisation principle)?

Personalised gifts for MAPA: customising SAP using DSM and our SAP Data Privacy Suite

MAPA has a bespoke ordering process for babies’ dummies (known as pacifiers in the US). This allows someone to go online and choose bespoke images and colours, or even upload images to be printed on the dummy, potentially along with the baby’s name and or/date of birth. Although the data is stored in SAP, it's not a standard customer master.  We were quickly able to build a new Legal Person Type and link it to a new custom business object for the ‘One time orders’, and make this available for Data Disclose (part of our SAP Data Privacy Suite). We were also able to use Data Redact for sensitive data including names, email addresses, dates of birth and more. Find out more in this short video from Paul Hammersley.
