Cloudflare Achieves New Privacy Certifications
Cloudflare has announced it is among the inaugural group of organizations officially certified under two new global privacy standards, the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (Global CBPR) and the Global Privacy Recognition for Processors (Global PRP) systems. These brand new certifications, launched by a forum of nine governments, allow organizations like Cloudflare to voluntarily demonstrate their commitment to data protection and privacy standards when moving personal data across borders. With these new certifications, organizations can trust that Cloudflare has audited controls and protections in place around customer data. 'Running a global business is getting more and more complex,' said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO at Cloudflare. 'Global standards like the CBPR and PRP are important because they can establish clear, consistent guidelines around data privacy, and make it easier for organizations to scale and do business across borders. Cloudflare has a long history of putting privacy first – helping build new industry protocols, building it into our products by default, and now we're one of the first organizations to achieve these new global certifications.' The Global CBPR and Global PRP certifications were established by nine governments in the following locations: Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, and the United States. The United Kingdom, Bermuda, Mauritius, and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) are CBPR Associate Members. These two new certifications help to bridge varying data protection laws from around the world, and allow companies to demonstrate their compliance to an internationally-recognized standard. The Global CBPR and Global PRP are a set of data protection and privacy standards to support the safe and secure movement of personal data across borders and build trust with consumers and businesses alike. The certifications cover 50 requirements on how organizations should collect, manage, and safeguard personal information in their custody, based on nine guiding principles, including: Preventing Harm Notice Collection Limitation Uses of Personal Information Choice Integrity of Personal Information Security Safeguards Access and Correction Accountability Cloudflare is also currently certified under ISO 27701 and ISO 27018, which establish guidelines for how organizations process personally identifiable information (PII) in public cloud environments; as well as being verified compliant to the EU Cloud Code of Conduct. The EU Cloud Code of Conduct is recognised under the GDPR in the 30 EEA countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lichtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden).

TrustArc Launches Global CBPR and PRP Certifications, Expanding Privacy Protection and Accountability
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TrustArc, the privacy platform for navigating global compliance and AI risk, is proud to announce the official launch of the Global Cross Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) and Privacy Recognition for Processors (PRP) Certifications through TRUSTe as an approved Accountability Agent in the United States. This milestone marks a significant evolution in international data transfer compliance, expanding the reach of the widely respected APEC certifications to a global framework. The Global CBPR and PRP systems launched by the Global CBPR Forum provide a government-backed, interoperable, and flexible approach for validating robust privacy practices and cross-border data transfers. The certifications allow companies to build and demonstrate trust across multiple participating jurisdictions, including Canada, the United States, Japan, Australia, Mexico, Singapore, and more. Interest continues to grow with countries like India exploring participation and more than 24 countries participating in Global CBPR workshops, underscoring the international momentum for cooperative privacy governance. The Chair of the Global CBPR Forum, Shannon Coe, emphasized the importance of these certifications in today's digital economy. She states, "The launch of the Global CBPR and Global PRP Systems empowers companies worldwide to uphold the highest standards of data privacy, fosters trust, enables trade, and drives innovation in a connected future. We encourage companies operating in the global market to consider becoming certified and jurisdictions to join the Forum to make this tool available to companies in their jurisdictions." With decades of experience certifying privacy programs under APEC CBPR and other global frameworks, TrustArc, through its TRUSTe certification offerings, has been a pioneer in accountability-based privacy assurance. As the first U.S. Accountability Agent and the first in the world to certify companies to the APEC systems since 2013, TRUSTe has helped shape the global approach to cross-border data protection. The launch of this certification comes at a pivotal time as businesses face increasing complexity in international data transfer requirements and rising consumer expectations for responsible data stewardship. "TrustArc is proud to support the Global CBPR Forum in this significant evolution of cross-border privacy governance," said Noël Luke, Chief Assurance Officer at TrustArc. "As one of the first Accountability Agents for the Global CBPR and PRP systems, we're excited to help organizations meet growing international privacy expectations. These certifications provide businesses with a meaningful way to demonstrate accountability, while giving consumers the assurance that their data is handled with care, no matter where it goes." TrustArc's certification services for the Global CBPR and PRP systems are now available to organizations seeking to validate their privacy practices and streamline cross-border data transfers across jurisdictions. Certification through TrustArc offers a structured path to compliance and public trust, helping companies differentiate themselves in a competitive, privacy-conscious Global Report Highlights Importance of Cross-Border Data Transfer Certifications The upcoming 6th annual 2025 Global Privacy Benchmarks Report from TrustArc, set to release later this June, sheds light on the operational challenges and strategic priorities privacy teams face around the world. The report, developed by TrustArc based on extensive global survey data, reveals that cross-border data transfer compliance remains a top concern and a key differentiator for mature privacy programs. Early insights from the 2025 report include: 42% of respondents report that managing cross-border data transfers is challenging or extremely challenging. Cross-border data transfer issues rank in the Top 5 challenges organizations face in managing their overall privacy programs. Top-performing organizations scoring highest on the Global Privacy Index are significantly more likely to align with structured, global accountability frameworks such as APEC CBPR & PRP, NYMITY, AICPA/CICA, and COBIT. These companies report a 75% privacy competence score, highlighting the strong link between certification and privacy program maturity.
