In this day and age, data privacy and data protection are top of mind, for very good reasons. Keeping data safe isn’t just a good business practice, it’s an imperative for businesses around the world, since many governments are requiring data privacy and protection as a part of doing business in their jurisdictions.
At 11:11 Systems, our commitment to data privacy and protection isn’t just a part of what we provide, it’s part of what we do internally as a business.
This organizational imperative just reached a significant milestone as we are now officially certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF).
For those of us who work at 11:11, this achievement isn’t just a compliance checkbox, it’s baked into our DNA. It represents a significant milestone in our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security, reliability, and legal compliance for ourselves and for our customers.
With this certification we reinforce our dedication to providing secure, seamless, and legally compliant data transfers for our customers, ensuring their sensitive information is always secured every step of the way. This is particularly critical for businesses operating across international boundaries, where data privacy regulations and cross-border requirements can be complicated and challenging to navigate.
At 11:11 Systems, we see compliance as a strategic initiative, not a box to check.
What is the Data Privacy Framework?
The Data Privacy Framework, established by the U.S. Department of Commerce in partnership with the European Commission, the UK Government, and the Swiss Federal Administration, provides a reliable mechanism for U.S. organizations to transfer personal data from the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland to the United States.
These frameworks ensure compliance with data protection laws in those regions, bridging critical gaps between differing privacy regulations. For businesses, this means simplified data exchange across borders without compromising the privacy of personal information.
