Synchronoss Secures EU-US Data Privacy Framework Certification, Bolstering Global Cloud Compliance

KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Bernama) -- Synchronoss Technologies Inc (Synchronoss), a global leader and innovator in personal cloud platforms for telecoms, announced it has achieved certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), a move that underscores its commitment to international data protection standards.

The DPF, administered by the United States (US) Department of Commerce, is a transatlantic data transfer mechanism that enables certified US-based companies to legally receive and process personal data from the European Union (EU) in compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

According to Synchronoss in a statement, the framework provides robust safeguards, enforcement mechanisms, and redress options to ensure personal data remains protected when transferred outside the EU.

The certification enhances its global compliance capabilities and further affirms its position as a trusted partner of secure, white-label cloud solutions to Tier 1 telecom operators worldwide.

“Privacy and data protection are at the heart of our mission. Achieving this certification reinforces our pledge to deliver secure, scalable, and user-centric cloud services that meet global trust standards,” said Synchronoss President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Miller.

Meanwhile, its Chief Privacy Officer, Mark Denihan noted that the certification goes beyond legal compliance, reflecting the company’s broader commitment to responsible data governance.

“For our European partners, the DPF assures that data transfers are conducted with integrity, transparency, and accountability,” he added.

The certification covers both human resources (HR) and non-HR data and adds to Synchronoss’s broader compliance portfolio, which includes SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and validation through TRUST/e.

Synchronoss said this milestone supports its ongoing investment in privacy and data protection, aligning with rising regulatory expectations and customer demands in an increasingly data-driven global economy.
