von Reggie Davis, General Counsel, Chief Privacy Officer.

Docusign ist stolz bekanntgeben zu können, dass unsere verbindlichen internen Datenschutzvorschriften, häufig auch als BCR abgekürzt (Binding Corporate Rules) sowohl als Datenverantwortlicher als auch als Datenverarbeiter genehmigt wurden.

Basierend auf den strengen Datenschutzstandards der Europäischen Union (EU) gelten BCRs weithin als der "Goldstandard" für die legale Übermittlung personenbezogener Daten außerhalb der EU.

Das Erreichen der BCR-Zulassung ist in der EU äußerst wichtig, wo die Frist für die Einhaltung der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) im Mai schnell näher rückt und verspricht, den EU-Bürgern mehr Schutz und Rechte zu gewähren und gleichzeitig Organisationen für den Schutz personenbezogener Daten verantwortlich zu machen.

Der BCR-Genehmigungsprozess ist rigoros und erfordert eine hohe Verpflichtung zum Schutz von Daten und Privatsphäre. In der Regel dauert der Prozess zwei Jahre. Entwurf, Implementierung und Einhaltung sind mit hohem Zeit- und Ressourcenaufwand verbunden. Nur Organisationen mit höchsten Datenschutzstandards erlangen die Genehmigung ihres BCR-Antrags, und Docusign ist stolz, zu diesem erlauchten Kreis dazu zu gehören.

Der Kundennutzen von BCRs

Docusigns oberste Priorität ist die Vertraulichkeit und Sicherheit der Dokumente unserer Kunden. Deshalb sind wir bestrebt, strenge nationale und internationale Sicherheitsstandards zu erfüllen oder zu übertreffen, wie unsere aktuelle ISO 27001-Zertifizierung zeigt. Und da Vertrauen die Grundlage jeder erfolgreichen Transaktion ist, beweist die BCR-Genehmigung aufs Neue die hohe Verpflichtung von Docusign zum Schutz von Daten und zu unseren strengen internen Datenschutzpraktiken.

Die genehmigten BCRs dienen als rechtsgültiger Übertragungsmechanismus und verpflichten Docusign, die höchsten Standards für den Schutz der persönlichen Daten seiner Kunden und seiner Mitarbeiter gemäß den EU-Datenschutzstandards überall auf der Welt wo Docusign tätig ist, umzusetzen. Da Docusign diese BCRs implementiert, können Unternehmen und multinationale Organisationen sowie Kunden jeder Größe, die sich um den Datenschutz kümmern, ihre Geschäfte mit größerer Sicherheit abwickeln, da sie wissen, dass sie die GDPR-Datenübertragungsanforderungen bei der Verwendung von Docusign eSignature erfüllen.

Kunden können die von Docusign zugelassenen BCRs als Nachweis ihrer eigenen Konformität mit den geltenden EU-Datenübertragungsgesetzen nutzen und ihren Kunden und Partnern nachweisen, dass sie einen Anbieter verwenden, der den Goldstandard für internationale Datenübertragungen einhält.

Ein globales Engagement

In Anbetracht unseres Engagements für Unternehmen in der gesamten EU haben wir den irischen Datenschutzbeauftragten als führende Datenschutzbehörde für unsere BCR-Anwendungen ausgewählt. Unsere Initiative "Invest for Europe" in den letzten zwei Jahren umfasste den Start von Rechenzentren in Amsterdam, Frankfurt und Paris und wurde begleitet von einer umfangreichen Plattform-Entwicklung mit der Einführung unserer standardbasierten Signaturen-Suite, des Hybrid Cloud Deployment-Angebots und des Trust Service Provider Partnerprogramms - allesamt abgestimmt auf die EU-weite eIDAS-Verordnung.

Weltweit setzen wir uns dafür ein, dass unsere Kunden alle Vorteile der digitalen Transformation nutzen können - bei gleichzeitiger Wahrung der Privatsphäre und Sicherheit ihrer Daten. Mit unseren eSignature-Funktionen und Identitätsverifizierungslösungen unterstützen wir Unternehmen bei der sicheren und effizienten Durchführung elektronischer Transaktionen.

    You may notice when on Docusign’s website that a green padlock sits in front of the URL at the top of your browser. This is a visual cue that our website is secure thanks to SSL certificates, and it’s one that savvy consumers look for when doing business online. SSL certificates play an important role at Docusign, and they should be a part of your data privacy efforts too. Find out more about what they are, what they do, and how you can obtain them, with our SSL FAQs, below. What is an SSL Certificate? SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and SSL certificates are also known as digital certificates. An SSL certificate creates a secure link between a website and a visitor's browser. It ensures that all data passed between the two remains private and secure. There are three types of SSL certificate: Extended Validation (EV SSL), Organisation Validated (OV SSL) and Domain Validated (DV SSL). There are also what is known as wildcard certificates, used to extend SSL encryption to subdomains. Why do companies need an SSL Certificate? SSL certificates establish trust between you and your customer. To obtain an SSL Certificate, the purchasing company's identity must be authenticated. With this safeguard in place, customers know that your business is not only legitimate but that it's safe to do business with you online. If you want to accept credit card information on your website, for example, then you will need to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. One of the PCI requirements is using an SSL certificate. SSL certificates also help to prevent you and your customers from suffering a phishing attack. Phishing emails aim to impersonate your website for criminal gain. As the sender cannot receive their own SSL certificate, it makes it far more difficult for them to impersonate your website and easier for them to be caught out. As a result of SSL encryption, hackers and identity thieves are prevented from stealing private and sensitive information such as addresses, social media logins and credit card numbers. Only the intended recipient will be able to understand the information being sent. What should I look for in an SSL certificate provider? The cost of a solution can often be a deciding factor when choosing any tech solution, but when the security of your data it at risk, you shouldn’t necessarily go with the cheapest option. With that in mind, these are the top factors to consider over price alone: Compatibility: The provider should have a high trust pedigree in as many commonly used operating systems, web browsers, apps and devices as possible. Scalability: The provider should also be able to handle volumes that grow with your company, as you may end up needing thousands of certificates per second to be issued. Flexibility: The leading providers offer flexible purchasing terms. Pay-as-you-go, for example, allows you to order certificates when you see fit, regardless of amount. Bulk balance models also allow you to load money into your account. Platform: Your solution needs to be easy to use, support a variety of workflows and has a dynamic portal. Support: It's important to evaluate the services and support offerings available to help you succeed. Is an account manager on-hand, online support offered, communities to ask questions, and educational resources enabling you to self-serve? Where can I find Docusign's certificates? Docusign's digital certificates provide higher levels of identity authentication and document transaction security. Digital certificates cryptography uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology to issue certificates based on X.509 standards to represent the digital identity of a signer. The latest SSL certificate is always available for download from the Docusign Trust Site. Do I need to update my Docusign SSL certificate? If you do not have a custom SSL integration then no action is needed. Docusign’s SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate used for our DEMO, NA1, NA2, NA3 and EU environments occasionally expires (every 2 years). When the SSL certificate is set to expire a new SSL certificate will be used. That means If you have custom API, Connect, or any other system integration that depends on Docusign’s SSL certificate then contact your IT department's network administrator to update the certificate to ensure seamless functionality.
