July 15, 2009, Dalian China – hiSoft Dalian has been officially certified with Privacy Information Protection Assessment (PIPA), given by Dalian Software Industry Association under Dalian Information Industry Bureau. The certificate is mutually acknowledged with Japan's P-MARK system, which ensures good solutions to IT service vendors, users, and consumers under strict privacy and data security standards.
Protection for privacy of information has become a critical issue in the rapidly growing IT industry in China. Companies must implement information protection so as to provide reliable services that can be trusted and recognized by customers. As the first China based ITO company to receive CMM Level 5 certification corporate wide, hiSoft Technology has continued to develop its reputation as a leader in building a solid foundation of high quality, secure IT solutions to its customers. PIPA certification demonstrates hiSoft's core competence around security standards for the extremely discriminating Japanese market.
PIPA is China's highest standard for personal information protection regulation in IT outsourcing services. Certification is dependent on proof that the service provider consistently protects personal information and data privacy during computer processing. The European Union, Japan, and other countries have also enacted relevant laws and standards, imposing strict restrictions and management of cross-boarder processing of personal information during offshore outsourcing.
