How did we succeed
together with SEDAŞ?

SEDAŞ started the SAP® PDP Project in the beginning of 2021. First of all, personal data inventories prepared by SEDAŞ were transferred directly to SAP®. With the PDP solution, authorized users can view personal data according to their authority roles, while unauthorized users see all personal data as masked.

With the PDP solution, users will be able to follow clarification texts, explicit consents, anonymization, and destruction processes through SAP®.

With this project, it has been ensured that the GDPR measures are taken and managed centrally, not in parts, but in a way that considers both personal data security and all related processes.

The project was successfully put into live use on March 8, 2021. Afterwards, live support was given for 2 weeks.

With the SAP® PDP project, processes in both SEDAŞ’s ERP and CRM systems are followed in accordance with GDPR.

Results

With our SAP® PDP project, the following gains have been achieved for SEDAŞ:

  • Total Cost of Ownership advantage in the medium and long term with a single system instead of investing in many systems
  • End-to-end meeting the need for field-based authorization in SAP® systems
  • Full compliance with GDPR and real risk management with ready-to-use data, processes, and experiences brought by PDP
  • Data masking with SAP® UI Masking Solution

  • Recording access to personal data (log)
