TERIS Achieves U.S. Dept. of Commerce "Safe Harbor"
Certification
 Our Austin office is the first TERIS location to achieve U.S. Dept. of Commerce "Safe Harbor" Certification. Having the "Safe Harbor" designation allows approved firms such as TERIS access to European databases of private information.
About the Safe Harbor Program
In 1998, the European
Commission's Directive on Data Protection went into effect, prohibiting
the transfer of personal data to non-European Union nations that do not
meet European "adequacy" standards for privacy protection. In order to
bridge different privacy approaches, the U.S. Department of Commerce in
consultation with the European Commission European Commission, branch
of the governing body of the European Union (EU) invested with
executive and some legislative powers. Located in Brussels, Belgium, it
was founded in 1967 when the three treaty organizations comprising what
was then the European Community developed the "Safe Harbor"
framework. The Safe Harbor has become an important vehicle for U.S.
companies to avoid experiencing interruptions in their business
dealings with the EU.
If you are working on a case that requires "Safe Harbor" level security, please contact us. |
