CSA Code of Conduct to EU Cloud Code of Conduct Mapping
Release Date: 03/24/2025
Navigating General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance requirements can be challenging. Fortunately, Codes of Conduct (CoCs) provide a straightforward way for organizations to showcase their compliance.
The EU Cloud CoC for GDPR Compliance includes 86 provisions detailing best practices for ensuring compliance with GDPR. Similarly, the CSA CoC for GDPR Compliance includes 15 requirements broken into several best practices. It also provides guidelines on how to conduct a self assessment for GDPR compliance regulations.
CSA's Privacy Level Agreement (PLA) Working Group has conducted a mapping between the CSA CoC and the EU Cloud CoC. This mapping identifies the controls of both frameworks, how they overlap, and remediation actions to cover the gaps.
Key Takeaways:
- How to use a Code of Conduct (CoC) to comply with GDPR
- The overlaps between the CSA CoC for GDPR Compliance and the EU Cloud CoC for GDPR Compliance
- How to address the gaps between the two CoCs
