White Papers for Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA)

Data Privacy Compliance in the Application Testing Environment

Compuware Corporation

Organizations are embroiled in a feverish effort to protect sensitive data. The sense of urgency has escalated because of the media attention on the increasing number of data breaches that are occurring and the need to comply with security legislation. Organizations are likely protecting data in production, but this is not enough. It is also critical to secure private information in the test as this environment is less secure and may be exposed to a variety of unauthorized sources, including in-house testing staff, consultants, partners, and offshore development and support personnel. This white paper describes the magnitude of the problem and summarizes the Compuware solution that effectively helps companies address data privacy requirements in the test environment. The paper specifies a 12-step best practices approach to implementing a cost-effective and timely solution. It also details a four-phase implementation strategy that will assist companies in streamlining the process of creating and maintaining test data environments to reduce risk and comply with data privacy legislation. Finally, the paper details a brief case study illustrating how Compuware's combination of technology, best practices methodology, and customized services saved an organization time and money, by simplifying the process of securing their test data while meeting legislative compliance.
