CA Technologies Signs up to EU - US Privacy Shield
CA Technologies (News - Alert) (NASDAQ:CA) today announced it has submitted its EU-US
Privacy Shield self-certification to the US Department of Commerce. This
will ensure that CA Technologies can transfer data between the EU and US
under the Privacy Shield, in addition to other existing legal
mechanisms. CA Technologies was an active participant in the discussions
leading up to the announcement of the Privacy Shield framework.
International data transfers are crucial in today's application economy.
"Innovation and data don't stop at the borders. With the Internet of
Things and other communication-intensive innovations, our customers need
to transfer data on a daily basis as a matter of necessity," said Otto
Berkes, chief technology officer, CA Technologies. "An essential
component is trust among technology service providers, customers and
regulators. Having legal certainty and a stable framework for innovation
is essential."
Different mechanisms currently exist under EU law to transfer data
outside of the EU. One such mechanism, Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs),
require robust and extensive internal controls and procedures, and as a
result CA Technologies is one of only a handful of technology companies
that has developed BCRs. "This further assures our customers that we
apply the highest standards to their data," according to general counsel
Michael Bisignano.
"Legal challenges to the Privacy Shield framework are a possibility,"
says Bisignano. "While other organizations may choos to delay until
there is greater certainty, we strongly believe that our early
investment in the Privacy Shield is the right one. Our commitment to the
Privacy Shield is the best way available to demonstrate a commitment to
protecting our customers' data and further promote trust among all
constituencies. "
