Discussion and debate about international privacy-related standards have been around since the 1940s, when the recognition of privacy as a basic right was ratified by the United Nations (U.N.) Declaration of Human Rights of 1948.  Since then, the number of data privacy requirements has grown dramatically, as nations seek to protect the personal information of their citizens without sacrificing their participation in a global economy increasingly built on the back of the Internet.

But with this rapid growth of individual national policies and data security standards comes great complexity.  At the macro-level, multinational corporations struggle to do business across borders due to confusing governmental regulations or distrust about how their citizens’ personal information will be protected once it passes the “water’s edge.” At the operational level, security and compliance teams want to understand the requirements with which they should comply and how to best ensure the compliance, while still keeping the business running efficiently and securely in every corner of the world.
