Data Transfer Barriers

Globally, efforts are in progress to enable data flow, like APEC CBPR, ASEAN MCCs, GDPR adequacy. Challenges arise due to uncertainty in defining cross-border data transfers, requiring data protection equivalence. This raises costs and risks, especially in countries with unclear data rules and data localization practices, affecting global businesses.


By leveraging Privacy-Enhancing Technology , organizations can navigate the complexities of cross-border data transfer with greater confidence, ensuring data protection and privacy compliance while minimizing potential headaches and risks.
