The EU Cloud Code of Conduct General Assembly reached a crucial milestone earlier this month: The General Assembly has now completed its extensive revision of the Code, further developing the substance of the Code and aligning its provisions to GDPR. Based on input by supervisory authorities and the recently published Guidelines on Codes of Conduct and Monitoring Bodies by the European Data Protection Board, the Code has been further enhanced to ensure a robust level of data protection and transparency, complemented by an independent monitoring function.
Happy reading,
Your SCOPE Europe Team.
