BoardEffect obtains TRUSTe and Safe Harbor Certification

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to continue to fulfill its mission of providing an effective and secure system for board of directors around the world, BoardEffect, Inc. has obtained both a TRUSTe and Safe Harbor Certification.

A TRUSTe certification validates BoardEffect as a secure platform which complies with complex privacy requirements. It is essentially a stamp of approval from a highly reputable and trusted online privacy solutions provider which reinforces BoardEffect's credibility and competitive advantage in the board portal market.

"Confidentiality and Privacy has always been our top priority," BoardEffect's CEO, Thomas Rottler, said. "Our clients have always expected the highest level of privacy from our board portal and we have provided it since our inception. Being TRUSTe certified, however, is an official recognition by an objective third party and we are pleased to have been awarded this certification."

Interest in BoardEffect has crossed national barriers and the company's leadership has been implementing effective measures to accommodate international prospects.  For example, to comply with the European Union's Data Protection Directive, BoardEffect became Safe Harbor certified. This certification attests that BoardEffect maintains the privacy and integrity of personal data collected when servicing European prospects.

"We are working relentlessly to provide the most secure solution for our prospects in the United States and abroad so that they can have peace of mind when using BoardEffect," Rottler added.
