Why Should US Orgs Certify Their GDPR Compliance?
September 24, 2026U.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.
