Global Data Privacy Compliance

Many organizations are in a unique position when balancing compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the laws of international jurisdictions, such as those in the European Union. Companies often struggle to simultaneously comply with both rules of law.

Organizations must consider the sensitive nature of handling data privacy in other countries. EthicsPoint’s Data Privacy Solution resolves these issues with the technological tools necessary to approach compliance. The solution is compliant with:

  • France: CNIL
  • European Union: Article 29 Working Group
  • Belgium: Data Privacy Commission
  • Germany: Düsseldorfer Kreis
  • Spain: APD/LOPD (Spain )
  • Ireland: Data Protection Commission
  • Canada: PIPEDA
