That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re proud to announce the positive outcome of a comprehensive Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for our Sales and Service Cloud offerings. This extensive assessment was conducted from September 2022 to June 2025 by independent experts, Privacy Company and law firm Kennedy van der Laan, on behalf of the Dutch government\u2019s Strategisch Leveranciersmanagement Rijk (SLM), with whom we have a long standing relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are thankful to the Dutch government, a leader on data privacy and protection within the European Union (EU), and their advisors for their constructive engagement in this process, which resulted in pro-privacy changes that will benefit our customers globally&nbsp;And confirms that when applying the recommended measures, Dutch government customers can use the tested services in compliance with GDPR under the improved enrollment framework with the Dutch government. We are excited and confident that this outcome will further strengthen Salesforce&#8217;s continued partnership with EU governments on digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(The DPIA Report was published by SLM on August 11, 2026 and is available <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/slmrijk.pleio.nl\/\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-a-dpia-and-why-does-this-matter\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a DPIA and why does this matter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A DPIA is a risk assessment that proactively identifies and addresses potential privacy risks. It involves a thorough technical and legal examination of data processing practices against EU data protection laws, including GDPR. An independent DPIA, particularly one conducted by a government body, provides a valuable benchmark for technology providers such as Salesforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The positive result of this DPIA is a testament to, and independent validation of, our unwavering commitment to privacy and customer success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-one wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\">Keep greater control of your data in the EU<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\">With Hyperforce EU Operating Zone, Salesforce helps organizations keep Customer Data in the EU and maintain greater control over where data is processed.
