Compliance Solutions for meeting EU Privacy Laws

EU Privacy Legislation provides challenges to organisations of all sizes and in all industries. ePKI helps your organisation meet data security and integrity requirements for date storage, email and electronic documents.

All organisations doing business in the European Union (EU) via the Internet should be aware of the EU's comprehensive privacy legislation that affects online transactions such as Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament for secure communications. The European Commission Directive on Data Protection (EU Directive) prohibits on-line transfers of sensitive or personally identifiable data unless an adequate level of privacy protection is in place and maintained. In particular, two aspects of the legislation may be met through GlobalSign solutions:

Security. Organisations are required to take reasonable precautions to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Data integrity. Organisations must take reasonable steps to ensure that data collected is accurate, complete, current and reliable for its intended use.

GlobalSign offers organisations of all sizes a comprehensive suite of Digital Certificate and PKI services to help implement framework-based policies and technology controls:

Managed SSL for Multiple SSL Certificates

Manage your organisation's multiple SSL Certificates via an advanced SaaS web portal / API

Manage the complete lifecycle of your organisation's SSL Certificates through the SSL Managed Service. One time vetting means once vetted, your enterprise's users simply log into the web based account (or XML API) and issue, reissue, renew or revoke SSL Certificates on demand. Granular user privileges allow Administrators to create roles for users to apply, approve or just report on billing and activity within the account. Plus, the immediate discounts mean you save over purchasing SSL Certificates from multiple suppliers or via premium priced retail sites.

Enterprise PKI for Secure Email, Authentication and Document Signing

Manage employee / extranet Digital IDs for Microsoft Windows and Adobe platforms

Enterprise PKI (ePKI) is GlobalSign's managed service for multiple Digital IDs to allow organisations of all sizes to benefit from the security and functionality of PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) without the cost and time-to-market burden of in-house PKI deployments. Use ePKI to deploy:

  • Secure Email
  • Authentication & Access Control
  • Adobe PDF Signing & Security
  • Microsoft Office Document Signing & Security

Offers complete Digital ID lifecycle management starting for as few as 5 Digital IDs.

Adobe Certified Document Services

Publish secure and authentic electronic PDF documents

As an authorised participant in Adobe’s Certified Document Services (CDS) Solution, GlobalSign can offer enterprises a more secure, reliable electronic PDF document exchange service to enable recipients to easily determine the documents authenticity and authorship.

Trusted Root Certificate Authority

Root Signing to enable your Enterprise Certificate Authority to issue globally trusted Digital Certificates

Enterprises operating their own Microsoft Certificate Services or in house Certificate Authority can chain their Root Certificates to the widely distributed and highly trusted GlobalSign Root CA Certificate - eliminating costly "not trusted" errors and immediately benefiting from the trust associated with GlobalSign and its 10 year+ long relationships with all the browser, application and Operating System vendors.
