DIGITAL MOUNTAIN ONE OF THE FIRST DATA DISCOVERY COMPANIES GRANTED EU-U.S. PRIVACY SHIELD CERTIFICATION

SANTA CLARA, CA (November 1, 2016) – Digital Mountain, Inc., a leading national provider of Universal Discovery Management solutions including electronic discovery, computer forensics, cybersecurity and a next-generation Web-based platform, FileQuest®, announced today that they are one of the first data discovery companies receiving EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Certification by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework was designed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and European Commission to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with EU data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce. This framework replaces the U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Frameworks and is considered to be a more robust mechanism for data protection of personal data of EU individuals. “Digital Mountain is highly committed to protecting data on a global basis,” said Julie Lewis, President and CEO of Digital Mountain. “We voluntarily went through the Privacy Shield certification process to formalize our continuous commitment to privacy and data security and to explicitly notify our global customers that we abide by EU privacy standards and laws. Digital Mountain strives to maintain our clients’ trust to provide the utmost care in safeguarding data while providing exemplary electronic discovery, computer forensics and cybersecurity services.”
