Amid persistent challenges when it comes to GDPR implementation, approved codes of conduct stand out as essential tools for specifying regulatory requirements, fostering transparency, and building trust. These instruments not only harmonize technical and organizational measures but also ensure the effective protection of data subjects’ personal data.
Since its approval by European data protection authorities in 2021, the EU Cloud CoC has established itself as a pioneering benchmark for the cloud industry. The Code equips cloud users with the tools to make informed decisions while providing cloud services with clear and actionable guidance to efficiently comply with GDPR requirements.
By joining the General Assembly, OceanBase reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding personal data and contributing to trust building in the cloud. This addition also reflects the growing strength and inclusivity of the EU Cloud CoC community, which continues to align the industry around its shared mission.
Addressing this achievement, Yang Bing, CEO of OceanBase, commented:
We are honored to join EU Cloud CoC. OceanBase is committed to making the management and use of massive data easier through technology. Data security and personal data protection have always been OceanBase's top priority. OceanBase has complete procedures and technologies to ensure security. Every year, OceanBase invites authoritative third-party organizations to audit, and we have obtained comprehensive attestations and certifications.
Gabriela Mercuri, Managing Director of SCOPE Europe, added:
The EU Cloud CoC General Assembly represents a unique ecosystem that has shown over the past years an outstanding dedication to the development and implementation of effective industry standards. Welcoming OceanBase to our community demonstrates the Code’s ongoing growth and influence as a leading initiative in cloud compliance.
