The European Directive on Privacy
and its Implications to U.S. Companies
Tuesday, February 2nd, 1999
12 - 2 PM
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston
One Federal Street, Boston, MA
The European Union has published a directive on privacy, which became valid
on the 25th of October, 1998. The intention of this directive was to align
the different national laws on Data Protection and Privacy and to ensure
these fundamental privacy rights for everyone in the E.U.
The directive requires companies outside of the E.U. doing business with
E.U. individuals and companies to take responsibility for protecting all
personal data: all data that refer to individuals such as employees,
suppliers, vendors, customers. These measures must be in place on a legal,
an organizational, and a technical level to avoid misuse of these data. The
efforts necessary are not outstanding, they're mainly good business
practice -- with the exception of certain contractual matters.
Obviously, U.S. companies not fulfilling these requirements and not willing
to adopt them will have problems doing business with E.U. companies.
Sanctions may go from penalty fees up to the exclusion of business. The
E.U. is undertaking these efforts to bring progress in the initiative on
privacy as expressed in the G 7 resolutions and the OECD guidelines.
This talk will show that the requirements stated in the E.U. privacy
directive do not present a new obstacles to US companies doing business in
Europe, but are a chance to build trust for doing electronic business.
Roland Mueller is Director of Network Security Technologies and Services
of Secunet, Inc., an Austin-based firm that is a strategic partner of
Berkom USA.
Mr. Mueller was most recently a Technical Manager for Daimler-Benz. In
this capacity, he was repsonsible for the technical installation,
assessment and management of the Daimler-Benz privacy and security policy.
He was also a member of a project group responsible for protecting the
board of directors and management from IT fraud and increasing awareness of
that the risk of IT fraud at every level throughout the organization.
Prior to joining Daimler-Benz, Mr. Mueller worked as a manager for
technical security matters in the Department of Data Protection and IT
Security of Debis Systemhaus GmbH. Debis Systemhaus is Germany's largest
independent information technology (IT) service provider and is a
subsidiary of Daimler-Benz.
After serving in the German Army for eight years as a surveyor, and
completing his master's degree at Friedrich-Alexander-University in
Computer Science, Mr. Mueller served as a scientist at the University of
Erlangen Nurnberg, where he was responsible for WAN security projects. He
holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from
Friedrich-Alexander-University in Erlangen Nurnberg.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on
Tuesday, February 2, 1999, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of
the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch
is $32.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware,
and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club *does* have dress code:
jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate
business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since
we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the
price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress
code.
We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we
*really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of
Boston", by Saturday, January 30th, or you won't be on the list for
lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston
will have to be sent back.
Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The
Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $32.50. Please include your
e-mail address, so that we can send you a confirmation
If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements
(We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for
instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work
something out.
Upcoming speakers for DCSB are:
March Jonathan Rusch, USDOJ Internet Fraud
We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston
on the first Tuesday of the month, and you would like to make a
presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program
