International Privacy Governance

International privacy governance has been unsettled since last fall’s decision by a European Court invalidated the US-EU Safe Harbor program governing trans-Atlantic data transfers. The interim measure is a “Privacy Shield” program. If you have international exposures, being informed of this shifting international regulatory environment is important.

OneBeacon Technology Insurance is pleased to present a whitepaper authored by cybersecurity attorneys from Troutman Sanders LLC titled “US-EU Privacy Shield Program.” The report explains the program and its requirements, as well as the elements of the December 2015 decision to adopt the General Data Protection Regulation, which takes effect in 2018.
