The IAPP and OneTrust have partnered to provide a complimentary
online platform to help organizations assess their readiness to
meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), Privacy Shield, and Binding Corporate Rules for Processors
and Controllers (BCR).
"With the invalidation of the Safe Harbor framework, replaced by
the new Privacy Shield, and the looming GDPR, our
members, and organizations around the world, face a
challenging environment for transferring personal data out of the
EU," said IAPP President and CEO J. Trevor Hughes, CIPP. "They need
tools like the new IAPP-OneTrust EU Data Transfer Kit to help them
identify gaps and create organizational awareness. Built with
insight from our members, this new tool is a great example of the
IAPP community working together to help each other meet whatever
privacy and data protection challenges are presented by an
ever-changing regulatory environment."
The EU Data Transfer Kit helps the privacy office prepare for
GDPR, Privacy Shield, and BCR in three steps:
- Complete a readiness questionnaire for each selected EU
policy
- Automatically generate a gap analysis and recommended plan of
action
- Run reports and track progress towards policy readiness
"Strong protections for the transfer of personal data globally
is a foundational element of protecting the privacy of individuals.
It is critical that organizations thoroughly evaluate their privacy
programs against data transfer requirements," said Dr. Alexander
Dix, OneTrust Board Advisor, and current Vice-Chair of the European
Academy for Freedom of Information and Data Protection in
Berlin. "The new technology-based solution provided by the
IAPP and OneTrust provides an innovative and efficient approach to
helping organizations evaluate their readiness to meet the
obligations of GDPR, Privacy Shield, and BCRs."
The EU Data Transfer Kit is OneTrust's second complimentary
product launched in partnership with the IAPP. In September, the
IAPP and OneTrust launched a Comprehensive PIA platform.
"Over 400 IAPP members have registered for the IAPP and OneTrust
complimentary PIA Platform since the general availability less than
two months ago," said OneTrust CEO Kabir
Barday, CIPM, CIPP/US, CIPT. "The success of the PIA
platform has made it clear there is tremendous demand for
technology-based solutions that help privacy professionals automate
and operationalize their compliance efforts. OneTrust is committed
to offering the most comprehensive offerings to IAPP members, and
today's launch of the EU Transfer Kit, is a proofpoint of OneTrust
delivering on this commitment."
