A new press release announces, “Birst, the global leader in Cloud BI and Analytics for the Enterprise, today announced it has received TRUSTe validation for meeting the rigorous qualifications for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework put forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITA). This certification assures that Birst meets European Union (EU) data protection requirements for the transfer of personal data between the U.S. and EU. Further, it solidifies Birst’s commitment to delivering the highest possible standards for privacy and security to global customers.”

The release continues, “In 2016, Privacy Shield was approved as the new framework to protect the transfer of personal data between the EU and the U.S., replacing the previous Safe Harbor framework. Because data protection and security standards are ever-changing, enterprises and international customers rely on their technology providers to help them keep data safe and processes compliant. The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Certification that Birst achieved is another milestone in its ongoing commitment to uphold privacy standards for customers.”

It goes on, “In addition to Birst’s EU-U.S. Privacy Shield certifications, Birst’s data professionals have earned Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) and Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) credentials through the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). The IAPP is the first organization to publicly establish standards in professional education and testing for privacy and data protection. IAPP privacy certification is internationally recognized as a reputable, independent program that professionals seek and employers demand. Through these certifications, Birst is further equipped to manage data privacy at all stages of the service lifecycle.”
