ONECOMPLIANCE Facilitates German Company’s Achievement of Chinese Market Data Compliance

ONECOMPLIANCE has recently unveiled its partnership with a German-owned enterprise to successfully execute a comprehensive data compliance initiative in China. The completion of this project signifies a substantial resolution of compliance challenges within the Chinese market, fostering heightened awareness among employees and establishing a resilient framework for the company’s continual and stable operations, earning commendation from stakeholders.

The main components of China’s data security legal framework include laws such as the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, and Personal Information Protection Law. Addressing cross-border data flow, China has also introduced regulatory documents such as the Measures for Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data Transfer, Provisions on Standard Contracts for Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Information, and relevant guidelines. These collectively establish a regulatory mechanism for overseeing data outbound from China.

Navigating data compliance has perennially posed a significant legal hurdle for foreign-backed businesses operating in China. These challenges have been accentuated in the current intricate international socio-political and economic milieu.

Owing to the distinct landscape of China’s data regulations and oversight, many foreign entities encounter compliance complexities. This includes：

  • Inability to ascertain compliance with data regulations；
  • Lack of understanding regarding the types of data being collected and processed, particularly the concept of “important data”；
  • Uncertainty about regulatory agencies, requirements, methods, and standards for data governance；
  • Absence of documentation, systems, and procedures for data management；
  • Confusion regarding cross-border data processing；
  • Uncertainty about how to efficiently and cost-effectively conduct compliance management, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Prior to engaging our services, the client lacked a foundation in data compliance, impeding their ability to accurately gauge potential risks. Their concerns extended to discerning data categories processed by the company, verifying the presence of critical data, formulating internal data protection frameworks, and ensuring the lawfulness and compliance of ongoing data processing activities.

Upon receiving the client’s commission, ONECOMPLIANCE’s compliance task force swiftly acclimated to the client’s requirements, leveraging internationally recognized data governance methodologies. Key tasks encompassed:

  • Comprehensive due diligence to comprehend the company’s operations and requisites
  • Systematic data categorization and inventory management, facilitating structured data lists
  • Cultivating employee compliance awareness through training sessions and addressing pertinent queries
  • Development and implementation of robust data compliance systems and protocols
  • Preparation of detailed data compliance reports
  • Provision of recommendations for corrective measures and continued guidance

This successful collaboration marks an instrumental stride for ONECOMPLIANCE in the realm of data compliance, solidifying our commitment to deliver comprehensive services and assurances to our esteemed Chinese clientele. This project signifies a commencement rather than a culmination. ONECOMPLIANCE remains dedicated to providing steadfast support. As a response to client demands, we assume the role of a Data Compliance Officer (DPO), offering ongoing compliance services and aiding clients in adapting to the intricate and ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
