Businesses and other organisations processing data will also be able to take advantage of the new tools provided for in the Regulation as an element to demonstrate compliance, such as codes of conduct and certification mechanisms. These constitute bottom-up approaches which come from the business community, associations or other organisations representing categories of controllers or processors and reflect best practice, important developments in a given sector or can inform about the level of data protection required by certain products and services. The Regulation provides for a streamlined set of rules for such mechanisms while taking into account market realities (e.g. certification by a certification body or by a data protection authority).
