SAP and Cisco Deliver Data Privacy Application

SAP AG and Cisco announce the availability of a composite application that is predicted to help organizations proactively enforce data privacy across the business network. The solution is designed to help support continuous, demonstrable compliance with data privacy policies and to minimize risks. By bringing together SAP solutions for governance, risk and compliance (SAP solutions for GRC) with Cisco intelligent network services, the Data Privacy composite application by SAP and Cisco allows businesses to enforce real-time global and local data privacy policies throughout the organization. This composite application expands SAP solutions for GRC, providing customers with a solution for improved visibility, control and responsiveness across the enterprise, while lowering the total cost of ownership by using existing application and infrastructure investments. The announcement was made at SAP TechEd 2008, being held in Berlin, Germany, Oct. 14-16, 2008.
