Data Protection and Privacy (5LE)

Data Protection and Privacy (5LE)

When configuring, applying, or operating an IT landscape, companies have always regarded general, country/region-specific, local, and industry-specific legislation. General data protection regulation is associated with numerous legal requirements and privacy concerns that may affect the configuration and setup of an IT system. For example, this may include commercial, fiscal, accounting, or specific tax requirements.
