GSMA urges ICT companies to join RPS framework to ensure secured data flow across borders

NEW DELHI: With ASEAN member countries adopting a ‘Regulatory Pilot Space’ (RPS) framework to ensure secured data flow across borders, Mobile trade body GSMA has urged companies and businesses to come forward with projects in order to be a part of the framework.

The framework includes a common set of data privacy principles that can be applied to technological services and applications which require the transfer of personal data across two or more ASEAN countries.

The RPS forms part of recent developments towards an ASEAN cross-border data flow mechanism that was given the go-ahead at the 19th ASEAN Telecommunications and Information technology ministers (TELMIN) meeting in Vientiane on October 24-25.
