DNV achieves milestone Europrivacy™® accreditation

Recent accreditation by Accredia highlights DNV’s commitment to supporting companies with their data protection efforts.

The Europrivacy™® certification scheme is a GDPR-by-design certification, developed through the European research programme financed by the European Commission, and endorsed by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) as compliant with articles 42 and 43 of GDPR.

The adoption of appropriate security measures for protecting personal data is increasingly crucial for all companies and this certification scheme helps businesses to assess and document compliance of personal data processing activities with the GDPR obligations.

“This accomplishment is not only testament to DNV’s focus on driving data protection but also sets the stage for future advancements in the field, ensuring our clients benefit from the highest standards of privacy and security.” says Giovanni Francescutti, Global Sales Manager in Business Assurance.

The accreditation process also involved close collaboration with the Italian Data Processing Authority (Garante Privacy) as well as Aindo, an Italian developer of generative AI-based data and the first company to receive a valid Europrivacy™® certificate in Europe from DNV.

Having achieved accreditation, DNV will now support its clients to certify their data processing activities with Europrivacy™® and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to help them build trust with customers, business partners and stakeholders.
