Tool: IBM Tivoli Privacy Manager

The IBM® Tivoli® Privacy Manager (ITPM) for e-business is an enterprise privacy management solution providing middleware to abstract privacy and data handling rules from applications and IT systems. With this approach, privacy sensitive data is linked to policy at the point of collection, and subsequent requests to use the data are then filtered (permitted or denied) according to policy and the data owner's preferences. Audit trails of data usage can also be generated automatically. ITPM for e-business enables organizations to manage personal information in an automated manner that can help cut the costs of privacy management and mitigate the risks of unauthorized disclosure.
