On April 30, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the establishment of the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) and Global Privacy Recognition for Processors (PRP) Systems. In this episode of Priv, host Dona Fraser is joined by Victoria Akosile, Deputy Director of BBB National Programs Privacy Initiatives to take you from APEC to global CBPRs, explaining all of the acronyms in between. 

Privacy professionals are faced with what seems like a never ending, sometimes overwhelming stream of new privacy laws and regulations, both here in the U.S. and abroad. Our goal with this episode is to break down the “what you need to know” knowledge about the global CBPR system, quickly review the “how we got here” facts, and provide you with the “what do I do now” information you need, whether you are a data controller or data processor. 

In this episode of Privacy Abbreviated, Dona Fraser and Victoria Akosile discuss the Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) program and its recent expansion to become the Global CBPR Forum. They explain how the CBPR framework provides a uniform set of privacy requirements that coalesce around an international baseline for compliance. They also discuss the role of Accountability Agents, such as BBB National Programs, in helping companies obtain and maintain their CBPR certification. The conversation highlights the importance of data privacy interoperability and the benefits of CBPR and PRP certifications for both data controllers and processors. They also touch on the SolarWinds case and the upcoming Global CBPR Forum meeting in Tokyo.
