BEIJING, Feb. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kingsoft Cloud (NASDAQ:KC), a leading independent cloud service provider in China, today announced it has attained the TRUSTe Enterprise Privacy & Data Governance Certification from TRUSTe. This certification demonstrates Kingsoft Cloud’s ongoing commitment to strong data privacy practices and the enhancement of its customer’s and business partner’s trust.

The TRUSTe certification is based on a comprehensive set of requirements governing data privacy management practices as outlined in the TRUSTe Enterprise Privacy & Data Governance Practices Assessment Criteria. As a component of the certification, TRUSTe also provides independent dispute resolution services to address privacy-related questions around customer data from users and ongoing access to privacy guidance.

“We are committed to providing customers with safe, reliable, stable, and high-quality cloud computing services, and therefore, maintaining a top level of data security and privacy is our highest priority,” said Mr. Yulin Wang, CEO at Kingsoft Cloud. “Having Kingsoft Cloud’s platform and services assessed and certified against the TRUSTe Enterprise Criteria demonstrates our commitment to our customers that their data is highly valued and well protected.”

The TRUSTe certification follows a three-phase process, using a combination of experienced privacy analysis, proven assessment methodology, and the TrustArc Privacy Platform.

• Phase I includes a comprehensive review of the participant’s privacy practices against the TRUSTe privacy standards and the creation of a detailed privacy findings report.
• Phase II includes a review of the findings by TrustArc with the participant, implementation by the participant of remediation recommendations, and documentation of action item completion.
• Phase III includes certification activation including issuing the TRUSTe Seal, providing dispute resolution services, and providing access to TrustArc Assessment Manager to support ongoing privacy compliance.
