Introduction of the ILM-Deletion-Matrix Tool that can be used to identify GDPR critical data related to SAP ILM
SAP Information Lifecycle Management, in short ILM, helps organizations to manage their data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It does this by controlling how long data is stored and ensuring its secure deletion.
ILM enables automated archiving, retention management, and the blocking of personal data. It also supports GDPR rights like data access and deletion, helping businesses stay compliant while reducing risk.
With our ILM-Deletion-Matrix, you will receive an overview of your GDPR-relevant infotypes and tables, along with their ILM objects and retention periods by employee status. This helps ensure compliant data handling and supports GDPR audits and governance.
