GDPR Device Conformance Testing Service Launched by Eurofins

HASSELT, Belgium, Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Eurofins Digital Testing, a global leader in end-to-end quality assurance (QA) and testing services, today announced that its Cyber Security division has launched a new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) testing service to assess data protection capabilities, and ensure CE devices and their associated businesses and processes are conforming to the GDPR.

GDPR is the legal framework for personal data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union, and applies to any company involved with the movement, processing or storage of personal data related to EU citizens, regardless where the company is located. Eurofins' GDPR testing service runs test data assessments to help worldwide companies meet the new security and privacy requirements, avoid substantial fines and penalties that can be imposed for non-compliance, and build consumer trust.

"With GDPR now in place, it is critical that companies adhere to the stringent data protection framework by running checks with test data to confirm compliancy," said Johan Craeybeckx, Business Line Director, Eurofins Digital Testing International. "Eurofins is proud to offer this new program to help our customers test their overall level and/or device readiness to comply with the GDPR to ensure protection and privacy for how consumers' personal data is used and managed."
