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.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Twenty aspiring entrepreneurs graduated today from the CGC100 Youth Entrepreneurship Programme Fast Track Cohort Two, an initiative by Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Bhd (CGC). Conducted in collaboration with PINTAR Foundation and supported by the Ministry of Education, the programme targets aspiring entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 23 from B40 and M40 communities. CGC chairman Datuk Mohammed Hussein said the initiative goes beyond equipping participants with basic business skills, focusing also on instilling values to build ethical, sustainable and resilient ventures. 'This six-month programme serves as a platform to teach fundamental business skills, but more importantly, it aims to instil values in running a business. 'Sustainable and resilient businesses can only be achieved through active participation, not just by owning shares,' he told reporters after the CGC100 Fast Track Cohort Two Graduation Ceremony and Fast Track Cohort Three Launching here today. Also present was CGC president and chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Zamree Mohd Ishak. The CGC100 Youth Entrepreneurship Programme has so far produced 70 graduates, including from the 12-month Comprehensive Track programme, and created 61 new jobs, with 64 per cent of participants earning more than RM10,000 per month. The impact spans 20 industries, with 80 per cent of graduates successfully registering their businesses with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM), and 71 per cent of financing applicants securing the full amount requested. The upcoming Fast Track Cohort Three, scheduled from August 2025 to February 2026, will enrol 30 participants in a seven-month curriculum covering business fundamentals, environmental, social, and governance (ESG), branding, the digital economy, financial literacy and pitching.

Why cute little bag charms are the fashion accessory of the moment
Years after Jane Birkin famously decorated her eponymous Hermès handbag with clusters of trinkets and strands of beads, bag charms have made a big comeback. Plush Labubu keychains helped revive the Gen Z-fuelled accessorise-your-accessory trend and catapulted it into the mainstream. Now charms are showing up on elite fashion runways and dangling from the purses of celebrities. Designer handbag makers, anxious for growth during a downturn, are especially eager to get in on the phenomenon. If affluent shoppers can't be persuaded to drop thousands of dollars on a new purse, perhaps they can be enticed to spend a few hundred dollars on a branded charm for a purse they already own. Read more: Still obsessed with Labubu? Sorry, fashion did the bag charm trend first Ethan Diaz, 24, used to splurge regularly on high-priced purses and streetwear that he would barely use. Now, bag charms enable him to quickly switch up the look of his purses without blowing his budget. He recently dressed up his US$695 (approximately RM2,930) Coach Soft Empire Carryall Bag with a handful of eclectic charms, including a US$120 (RM506) Longchamp keyring in the shape of a croissant. The commercial director from New Jersey began buying the embellishments a year ago and now owns 30, the most expensive being a US$1,010 (RM4,260) Louis Vuitton crab charm that doubles as a small pouch. "You can mix and match and put it on different bags, so you're not limited to one specific style,' Diaz said. Sales at luxury brands have been falling for several quarters, and companies are putting out more affordable and smaller accessories to reverse the slump and drive up store traffic. Last month LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE reported that second-quarter sales fell 9% in its key fashion and leather goods unit as shoppers reined in purchases of costly purses and clothing. Rival Kering reported that Gucci sales plunged 25% during the same period compared with a year earlier, while sales at Prada declined 3.6%. Shares in the companies are all down double digits in the last 12 months, and consultancy Bain & Co expects the personal luxury goods industry to shrink between 2% and 5% this year. That would be the worst performance since the 2009 global financial crisis if the pandemic is excluded. Tapping into the viral bag charm craze is "sensibly opportunistic' for luxury companies that might as well "make some money off the back of it', said Neil Saunders, managing director at analytics firm GlobalData. Tapestry Inc, which has been outperforming top-tier labels thanks to strong sales at its attainable luxury brand Coach, has expanded its assortment of charms there and at Kate Spade. The company plans to significantly increase the number of pieces offered at Kate Spade, where sales have been falling, during the holiday season. Unique bag charms provide "an accessible way in' to the two brands, said Alice Yu, Tapestry's vice president of strategy and consumer insights. Ultra-luxury brands have sold charms for years, but mainly as afterthoughts to big-ticket items. Many sold them online only. Now the charms are front and center in boutiques and at fashion shows. "If we don't get into this and lean into this, someone else will,' Saunders said of the prestige brands. And as some of their wealthy customers hold off on buying new purses and clothes, hooking them with a stylish bag charm helps maintain valuable client connections during a rough patch. "The worst thing for a brand is to lose a consumer completely,' he said. Read more: Do you own a BAB? Big bags, big vibes, and even bigger fashion statement During recent visits to Bloomingdale's stores, statement charms were featured throughout the handbags departments. At the retailer's Manhattan flagship, Prada was showcasing its US$825 (RM3,480) black and gold robot charm attached to a US$2,300 (RM9,700) backpack. In Los Angeles, Gucci's US$510 (RM2,150) dragonfly-shaped keychain was clipped to one of the handles of a US$1,950 (RM8,225) handbag, and three dog-shaped charms, US$450 (RM1,898) each, were lined up in a display case alongside monogram card holders and wallets. Although bag charms are booming, industry analysts caution that they can only bolster luxury brands to a point. Ultimately, charms "will make up a very small portion' in sales for premium fashion labels, said Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Deborah Aitken. "Enough to keep brands active in the minds of potential shoppers, but at very limited total value.' Louis Vuitton and Loewe declined to comment on their bag charm strategies or provide sales figures. Gucci and Fendi did not respond to requests for comment. Klevisa Hendrix, a 27-year-old content creator from Los Angeles, began buying bag charms this year after seeing them on the Coach runway and now has a dozen in her growing collection. She typically spends less than US$100 (RM422) on a single charm. "You want to be fashionable,' she said, "But you want to still be able to afford fashion.' – Bloomberg
