Cross-Border Data Transfers & Transfer Impact Assessments

Transferring personal data outside the European Economic Area requires careful attention to the GDPR’s transfer mechanisms. 

Fort Privacy advises on the full range of international transfer arrangements including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions, Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) and derogations. 

We conduct Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) to evaluate the level of data protection in the recipient country, assess the risks to data subjects and determine whether supplementary measures are required. 

For organisations with complex international data flows, we map transfer routes, identify the appropriate mechanisms for each transfer and ensure that your documentation is complete and defensible. As regulatory guidance in this area continues to evolve, we keep our clients up to date and ensure transfer arrangements remain compliant.
