Why Should US Orgs Certify Their GDPR Compliance?

September 24, 2026

U.S. organizations that work with EU personal data are facing a more dynamic regulatory environment as expectations for cross-border data transfers continue to evolve. Many teams understand the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements, but demonstrating compliance in a clear, consistent way that resonates with EU stakeholders can be challenging.

Europrivacy, a GDPR certification formally recognized by the European Data Protection Board, offers a structured approach for demonstrating compliance across specific data processing activities. In this session, we’ll explore what Europrivacy may mean for U.S. companies, including how it can support cross-border data transfers, streamline conversations with EU clients, and provide independently verified evidence of compliance.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:

  • Identify key regulatory and business considerations for U.S. organizations working with EU personal data.
  • Describe how Europrivacy certification can support GDPR compliance and cross-border data transfer requirements.
  • Discuss whether Europrivacy certification aligns with organizational priorities and business objectives.
