What is European privacy certification?

In 1998, the European Union began enforcing strict privacy regulations pertaining to the personal information of its citizens. The EU’s Data Protection Directive prohibits the\ntransfer of personal information to countries that lack “adequate” privacy protection.\n\nHope this helps.

The Data Protection Act (DPA) is a British Act of Parliament that provides a legal basis and allowing for the privacy and protection of data of individuals in the UK. The act places restrictions on organisations which collect or hold data which can identify a living person. The Act does not apply to domestic use[1], for example keeping a personal address book.\n\nData collected by any person or organisation may only be used for the specific purposes for which they were collected. Personal data may only be kept for an appropriate length of time and must not be disclosed to other parties without the consent of the data owner. Schools, for example, may decide to keep information on former pupils for no longer than ten years.\n\nThe act is overseen by an independent government authority, the Office of the Information Commissioner. Persons and organisations which store personal data must register with the Data Protection Commissioner.\n\nThe UK Data Protection Act is large Act, and has a reputation for complexity.[citation needed] Whilst the basic principles are honoured for protecting privacy, interpreting the act is not always simple.\n\nHistory\n\nThe Data Protection Act 1984 was an implementation of the 1981 European Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data. It provided for a regulatory authority, the Data Protection Registrar, to oversee the implementation of and adherence to the Act.\n\nThe Data Protection Act 1998 expanded on the 1984 Act, and was an implementation of European Union Directive 95/46/EC which, amongst other measures, expanded the remit of the Data Protection Registrar and renamed the position to the Data Protection Commissioner. The 1984 Act was repealed by the Data Protection Act 1998. [2]\n\nPaper-based health, education and social work records which were created before 24 October 1998 are subject to slightly different provisions in the Act which will apply until 23 October 2007.\n\nMost recently, the Freedom of Information Act 2000 further expanded the role to include freedom of information; the job title of the DPR/DPC was changed once again, this time to Office of the Information Commissioner.\n\n[edit] Personal data\n\nThe Act covers any data which can be used to identify a living person. This including names, birthday and anniversary dates, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail, Fax numbers, etc. It only applied to that data which is held, or intended to be held, on computers ('equipment operating automatically in response to instructions given for that purpose'), or held in a 'relevant filing system'.\n\n[edit] Data protection principles\n\nThe data protection act creates rights for those who have their data stored, and responsibilities for those who store or collect personal data.\n\nThe responsibilities of those holding or collecting the data are that:\n\n    * Personal data should only be processed fairly and lawfully. In order for data to be classed as 'fairly processed', at least one of these six conditions must be applicable to that data.\n         1. The data subject (the person whose data is stored) has consented ("given their permission") to the processing;\n         2. Processing is necessary for 'the performance of' (to speed up the completion of) a contract;\n         3. Processing is required under a legal obligation (other than one stated in the contract);\n         4. Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject's rights;\n         5. Processing is necessary to carry out any public functions;\n         6. Processing is necessary in order to pursue the legitimate interests of the "data controller" or "third parties" (unless it could unjustifiably prejudice the interests of the data subject).\n    * Personal data must be obtained only for specified and lawful purposes.\n    * The data collected must be adequate, relevant and not excessive.

A harmonized standard is an European standard (EN), prepared under the mandate of the European Commission or the EFTA Secretariat with the purpose of supporting the essential requirements of a directive. The mandate does not necessarily cover the complete standard, and it is possible to include other, additional provisions in the text of the standard, the application of which is not mandatory. When this is the case, distinction should be made between the regulated area of the standard, which "supports" the requirements of the directive, and the voluntary area of the standard. This relation is explained in "Annex Z" to every mandated standard.\n\nIn principle, the procedure of preparing and adopting a harmonized standard is the same as the procedure of adopting European Standards, the difference being in that the role of "CEN Consultant" is included during public enquiry, who reviews the draft standard from the point of view of meeting the provisions given in the wording of the mandate, and from the point of view of meeting the essential requirements of the corresponding European directives. It often occurs that a mandated standard supports more than one European directive (e.g. the draft standard on garage doors, which creates a presumption of conformity with the requirements of the directive on machines and the directive on construction products as well as the directive on EMC). If this is the case, several CEN Consultants will review the standard, each giving their report for the relevant field.  Prior to formal casting of votes on the mandated standard, the CEN Consultant will be engaged again to confirm, within four weeks, the final text of the standard for voting.  If the Consultant refuses to confirm the text, further coordination will be necessary between the Consultant, the chairman and the technical secretary of the CEN TC who has prepared the draft.

Doing CEH from Eccouncil will make you a certified ethical hacker, but you need to pratice a lot to become a real security consultant. Read lots of books, expecially on the network infrastructure, and details about underlying protocols. Accoriding to me, most breaches' underlying roots exist from the network protocols, not the applications.

Well, I think all the tests just have the prefix BS, (British Standards), and I think EU just stands for European Union. (from what I can gather from reading information from the links below)

Actually, the CE mark is a European designation, used for products to be sold in Europe. See the wikipedia link for more information.

CE Marking is a European marking of conformity that indicates that a product complies with the essential requirements of the applicable European laws or Directives with respect to safety, health, environment and consumer protection. Generally, this conformity to the applicable directives is done through self-declaration. \n\nUnlike the UL Mark, the CE Marking:\n\n    * Is not a safety certification mark,\n    * Is generally based on self-declaration rather than third party certification, and\n    * Does not demonstrate compliance to North American safety standards or installation Codes.

The CE mark (officially CE marking) is a mandatory marking on certain products, which is required if they are placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA). By affixing the CE marking, the manufacturer, or its representative, or the importer assures that the item meets all the essential requirements of all applicable EU directives. Examples of European Directives requiring CE marking: Toys-, Machinery-, Low Voltage equipment-, R&TTE-, EMC-Directive. There are about 25 Directives requiring CEE marking. A list can be found at [1].\n\n\nOfficially, CE has no meaning as an abbreviation [2] but may have originally stood for Communauté Européenne or Conformité Européenne, French for European Conformity.\n\nThe CE mark is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives. To permit the use of a CE mark on a product, proof that the item meets the relevant requirements must be documented. Sometimes this is achieved using an external test house which evaluates the product and its documentation. Often it is achieved by a company-internal self-certification process. In any case the responsible organization (manufacturer, representative, importer) has to issue a EC-Declaration of Conformity (EC-DoC) indicating his identity (location, etc.), the list of European Directives he declares compliance with, a list of standards the product complies with, and a legally binding signature on behalf of the organization. The EC-DoC underlines the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. The CE marking should not be confused with certification marks, which are licenced from 3rd party test houses / certification bodies.\n\nDirectives providing the requirements for the CE mark are created by the European Union (EU), but the markings are required throughout the European Economic Area (EEA), which also includes the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) members Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, and in Turkey, which is not a part of the EU or the EFTA. (Switzerland is the only nation that is part of the EFTA (or the EU), but not the EEA, and sources differ on whether the CE mark is required there.)
