EU-U.S. Privacy Shield

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enacts strong consumer protection laws, with noncompliance resulting in steep fines. This law affects any organization that processes or handles the information of EU citizens. The deadline for organizations to comply with GDPR is May 25, 2018.
A-LIGN offers both gap assessment and validation services to assist organizations looking to comply with the GDPR requirements. Learn more about GDPR here: http://www.a-lign.com/services/general-data-protection-regulation/
HIPAA Privacy Rule
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) defines the policies, procedures, and processes that are required for companies that store, process or handle protected health information (PHI) in any medium, including electronically managed information, paper records, or oral communication. The goal of the HIPAA Privacy Rule is to ensure that PHI is safeguarded through the policies and procedures in place at affected organizations.
