Executive Summary

In partnership with Teiva Systems, a cutting-edge solution has been developed to manage sensitive data within the Legal & Compliance service catalog. This innovative approach ensures secure storage and facilitates the timely deletion of sensitive information on the ServiceNow platform, fully aligning with the company’s regulatory requirements and policies across all operating countries.

Business Challenge

In simple terms, it means notifying the responsible users in advance that data will be either made anonymous or deleted as per the established algorithm.
We’re also setting up a mechanism called ‘legal hold’ for cases that are currently being actively reviewed.
Additionally, we’re creating a system to control who has access to cross-border cases. In one country, access will be available, while in another, it won’t.

Solution & Business Value

Starting from CMDB migration and actualization, we reached the goal of having common base for the rest core IT processes to move to the new platform smoothly and efficiently. At the same time, preparing documentation and training of key actors during the migration allowed to reduce the overall project timelines, positively affecting the budget.

Solution

Custom module development on the ServiceNow platform makes it easy and efficient to configure which fields and tables should be anonymized or deleted, monitor data, manipulate data in a timely manner, and notify users based on their roles (role-based model).

Business Value

Storing sensitive data only within legally regulated periods or compliance requirements, and anonymizing and/or deleting sensitive data when necessary.
