PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - August 12, 2009) - CyberShift, a global
provider of workforce
management and
expense management software and services, today announced it has been
certified as compliant with the European Union
(EU) Safe Harbor standards. Developed by the U.S. Department of
Commerce and approved by the European Commission, the Safe Harbor framework
establishes a privacy protection standard for transferring personal data
between the member states of the EU and the United States. By becoming
certified under the EU Safe Harbor provisions, CyberShift has demonstrated
compliance with the Safe Harbor privacy principles accepted by all 27
member states of the European Union.
The European Commission's Directive on Data Protection prohibits the
transfer of personal data to non-European Union nations that do not meet
the European standards of privacy protection. The United States and the
European Union take differing approaches to privacy and, as a result, the
directive can significantly impede the ability of U.S. companies to engage
in many trans-Atlantic transactions.
"Privacy has always been a paramount concern for CyberShift. By becoming EU
Safe Harbor compliant, our customers can rely on our Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) solutions conforming to the strict privacy regulations of the
European Union. By taking the steps necessary to address complex
international privacy regulations, CyberShift makes it easier for customers
to gain the benefits of implementing our solutions across their entire
organization, no matter where they are located, allowing them to focus on
their core businesses," commented Gene Wronko,
CyberShift's vice president, IT and On Demand Services.
"As CyberShift's solutions continue to gain acceptance in many countries
outside of North America, we have made investing in a truly global platform
for our SaaS business a priority to make sure we were meeting the high
standards of our customers. EU Safe Harbor certification is an important
measurement of the success of our efforts," noted Robert E. Farina,
CyberShift's CEO.
