Stroz Friedberg Achieves Safe Harbor Certification Ensuring Data Security Standards for European Union Clients

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Stroz Friedberg, a leading consulting firm providing digital forensics, data breach response, electronic discovery, online and traditional investigative services, has been certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce as compliant with the US-European Union (EU) Safe Harbor Framework. The Safe Harbor Framework was developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission to ensure the privacy and security of personal data originating in EU member countries.

"Safe Harbor certification speaks to Stroz Friedberg's experience, capabilities and commitment to handle digital data entrusted to us by our clients in conformity with the highest standards of security, confidentiality and privacy. Our clients rely upon us to meet their data collection, processing and analysis needs in critical legal matters wherever they arise. Now our multinational clients with operations in the European Union may transfer personal data to our firm as part of the services we provide in a streamlined manner, consistent with their own legal obligations under applicable EU regulations" stated Beryl Howell, Executive Managing Director and General Counsel.

The European Commission's Directive on Data Protection went into effect in October of 1998, and prohibits the transfer of personal data to non-EU nations that do not meet the European "adequacy" standard for privacy protection. Certification as compliant with the standards set forth in the Safe Harbor Framework qualifies as adequate protection under the EU's Directive for Data Protection standards for handling digital data.
