DATA PROTECTION
The EDPB approves the European Data Protection Seal for the certification of processing activities by data controllers.
The EDPB adopted an opinion approving the EuroPriSe Criteria Catalogue for the certification of processing activities by data controllers resulting in a European Data Protection Seal.
In September 2022, the EDPB had adopted an opinion on the EuroPriSe certification criteria, enabling their recognition in Germany as certification criteria for processing operations by processors.
Following an update of the scheme, this new opinion approves the criteria as being applicable in the whole EU/EEA, and as a European Data Protection Seal.
GDPR certification contributes to the demonstration of compliance efforts and to increased transparency and trust. It allows for better assessment of the degree of protection offered by products, services, processes or systems used by organisations that process personal data.
The EuroPrise European Data Protection Seal will be added to the register of certification mechanisms and data protection seals in accordance with Article 42(8) GDPR and will be made available on the EDPB website.
