A sample Working Document setting up a table with the elements and principles to be found in Binding Corporate Rules.
This document seeks to bring together the previous work done by the Working Party of EU Data Protection Commissioners established under Article 29 of the Data Protection Directive1 into a more comprehensive set of views covering all the central questions raised by flows of personal data to third countries in the context of the application of EU data protection directive (95/46/EC).

General counsel and their teams work on improving corporate governance to reduce risk and costs, improving practices for communication with directors and management to facilitate parent and subsidiary board meetings and making securities compliance easier and more reliable. There are lots of new—and changing—tools and techniques, such as vetting vendors for board voting tools, securities compliance, cloud-based hosted systems, improving staffing and technology for minute-taking, and updating policies for insider trading, data protection, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and fiduciary duties. Keeping abreast of best practices, vendor-provided trainings, peer group policies and hosted solutions allows a legal department to lower costs, mitigate risks and drive value for the business. This session will address topics of interest to private and public companies, with a focus on issues common to both.
In 2015, the European Union (EU) is strengthening its data privacy rules, threatening to fine violators as much as €5M (US$6.8 million) or 5 percent of a company’s annual revenue. While full enforcement is still a year away, now is the time for organizations to start preparing. Speakers will review key elements of what you need to know in the legislation, how they apply to non-European-based companies, what differs from existing privacy requirements and what you must do to prepare. Topics include data residency, data security classification, privacy mapping strategies, assessing key risks, data remediation strategies, often-overlooked repositories that hold privacy information, tactics for implementing the “right to be forgotten” requirement and how to keep your privacy data identified, secure and controlled on an ongoing basis. Start preparing now for these far-reaching new rules.
