What is the DPF?
The Data Privacy Framework (DPF) was created to address legal challenges around transatlantic data transfer. The framework establishes strict commitments for participating organizations and introduces stronger oversight and redress mechanisms to align with European privacy laws.
Adhering to the framework allows businesses to transfer personal data from the EU, UK and Switzerland to the United States while meeting regulatory requirements. Organizations that certify to the framework commit to specific data protection principles recognized by these jurisdictions.
DPF compliance to open up markets and drive growth
Expanding into international markets or working with European customers requires a way to transfer data legally.
Without a valid data transfer mechanism, contracts can be delayed, partnerships can be complicated, and compliance risks can increase. Data Privacy Framework certification provides a recognized way to meet these requirements and reduce legal uncertainty.
Our approach to DPF compliance
These are the steps to implement the requirements of the Data Privacy Framework:
Gap Assessments
We review your existing data protection policies and compare them to DPF requirements. We identify gaps in areas to include notice, consent, security and third-party agreements.
Policy Updates and Implementation
Our team helps your organization update its privacy policies to reflect DPF principles. We establish opt-out mechanisms for data processing where required, and implement vendor management processes to monitor practices on an ongoing basis.
Self-Certification and Ongoing Compliance
We submit your certification to the U.S. Department of Commerce, which allows organizations to self-certify their compliance with the Data Privacy Framework. We maintain records for you that demonstrate your adherence to privacy principles, and will conduct annual reviews and renew your certification as required.
