Production Data Copy Across Complex Enterprise Landscapes

Updated: Mar 20

How MAYA AppSafe delivers AI-powered data protection across SAP RISE, on-premises, hyperscaler, and air-gapped environments:with full sovereignty and zero compromises.


The Challenge: Complex Landscapes, Consistent Privacy and anonymity

Modern SAP landscapes are no longer monolithic. Organizations run S/4HANA on SAP RISE, maintain legacy ECC systems on-premises, deploy applications on hyperscalers, and increasingly face regulatory constraints dictating where data can reside.

For data privacy solutions, this creates a fundamental question: How do you achieve consistent data protection when your systems are scattered across multiple environments with different security models?

MAYA AppSafe answers this with deployment flexibility that brings the same powerful capabilities: AI-powered discovery, patented algorithms, and cross-system consistency to every environment, including fully air-gapped installations.


What Makes AppSafe Different: Six Unique Advantages

Before exploring deployment options, understand the capabilities that remain consistent across all configurations:


AI-Powered Data Discovery

Pre-trained models (including SAP RPT-1) identify sensitive data automatically. No GPU required for inferencing: our RAG models run locally without internet connectivity. True Local AI that works in any deployment.


Ready-to-Use Algorithms

EPO-patented algorithms (USPTO pending) eliminate consulting overhead. No need to define how names, bank accounts, or addresses should transform. This knowledge is standardized and built-in. Full visibility, no black-box.


AI-Generated Recommendations

Beyond standard PII, local AI identifies environment-specific sensitive fields:country-specific social security numbers, custom IDs, industry-specific data. Comprehensive protection tailored to your context.

Standard Fields in application + Custom fields (Z fields) + Customer namespaces all as standard.


System-Wide Consistency

Patented "Collaboration Groups" maintain referential integrity across databases, files, images, and applications. Run cross-application business processes in transformed systems with confidence.


Simple Setup, Full Control

Deployment in hours, not weeks. AI-generated proposals with human oversight reduce project timelines from months to days: often to one-tenth of traditional approaches. Time saved is competitive advantage gained.


Complete Sovereignty

You choose where to host. No data leaves your ownership. Use advanced AI capabilities in completely protected, isolated environments. Essential for regulated industries with strict data residency requirements.


Deployment Options

Every option below delivers the full AppSafe capability set. Choose based on your infrastructure reality and compliance requirements.



Option 1: SAP RISE Co-located Recommended

Deploy AppSafe on a RISE IaaS server within the SAP Data Center, alongside your S/4HANA system.

cross-system-data-consistency-appsafe

  • Optimal performance: zero cross-datacenter latency

  • Single security perimeter: simplified governance

  • AI runs locally within SAP infrastructure: no data exposure

  • Full sovereignty: SAP DC locations meet data residency requirements

Installation: SAP Basis team performs installation with MAYA remote support. Typically requires service days coordination with RISE team.


Option 2: Customer Data Center with VPN Fallback

Deploy AppSafe in your own infrastructure, connecting to SAP RISE via secure VPN.



  • Full infrastructure control: AppSafe runs on your hardware

  • Complete sovereignty: AI processing stays in your data center

  • Patented algorithms ensure consistency even across network boundaries

  • Acceptable for periodic workloads and system refreshes

Requirements: Secure VPN tunnel to SAP RISE, 1 Gbps+ recommended bandwidth.


Option 3: Hyperscaler (AWS / Azure / GCP)

Deploy AppSafe on cloud VMs in the same region as your SAP workloads, using native cloud networking.



  • Cloud-native deployment: EC2, Azure VM, or GCE instances

  • VPC/VNET peering for private, low-latency connectivity

  • Hybrid support: connect to on-premises via Direct Connector from Hyperscalers

  • Local AI processing: no data sent to external AI services

Supports organizations with cloud-first mandates while maintaining data privacy through local processing.


Option 4: Air-Gapped / No Hyperscaler Regulated Industries

For organizations where regulatory or legal constraints prohibit hyperscaler usage entirely.



  • Zero external dependencies: no internet, no cloud, no external APIs

  • Software delivered via secure file exchange: no online repositories

  • Full AI capabilities offline: pre-trained models run without connectivity

  • Sanctions-compliant: meets US / EU regulatory restrictions


Proven in Production

Three European organizations currently run AppSafe in fully air-gapped environments including deployments in Norway, Switzerland, and Austria, demonstrating proven capability in the most restrictive scenarios.


Option 5: Multi-System Landscape (SAP + Non-SAP)

A single AppSafe instance serving heterogeneous environments including S/4HANA, ECC, Oracle, SQL Server, and more.


ai-data-protection-sap-rise-appsafe

  • Unified management: one interface for data anonymity across systems

  • Cross-system consistency: Collaboration Groups work across databases

  • Centralized AI recommendations: consistent detection across platforms

  • Reduced complexity: single deployment, multiple systems protected

Why Sovereignty Matters

In an era of increasing data regulation, the ability to deploy advanced AI capabilities without data leaving your environment is not a luxury: it's a requirement.

"With AppSafe, we use AI-powered data discovery and transformation without a single byte of production data leaving our data center. The local AI models deliver the same intelligence as cloud services, but with complete control."- European Financial Services Customer

Whether you're subject to GDPR, AI Act, sanctions laws, or industry-specific regulations like HIPAA, AppSafe's architecture ensures you can adopt advanced data privacy technology without compromising on sovereignty.


From Months to Days: The Timeline Impact

Traditional data anonymization projects require extensive consulting to define transformation rules, build custom scripts, and validate consistency. AppSafe's approach changes this fundamentally:

  • AI-generated proposals replace weeks of analysis

  • Patented algorithms eliminate custom development

  • Human oversight ensures responsible AI:review and approve, don't build from scratch

  • Project timelines reduced to one-tenth in standard cases

Time saved translates directly to competitive advantage - faster response to business changes, accelerated digital transformation, and reduced compliance risk exposure.

Whatever your landscape compxity, consistent data privacy across all environments is achievable. Let's discuss which deployment option fits your requirements.
