Certifying for the Privacy Shield Framework entails a pulic, legally binding commitment to meet all of the program's requirements, which cover many aspects of data storage, processing and transmission, especially where third parties are concerned. In addition, the framework mandates that certified companies must clearly communicate all privacy policies to the public via print or online media. Likewise, all individuals must be informed of their rights to access their personal data, and the conditions under which law enforcement organizations would also have access. QDiligence's managed questionnaire service for digital D&O questionnaires, board self-assessments and executive surveys can be as much as 80% faster than using traditional paper processes. Boards enjoy the flexibility of accessing and completing questionnaires on any platform, from anywhere.
