TIA — Transfer Impact Assessment for Jira - Unicis.Tech OÜ Docs

The Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) for Jira helps organizations comply with Chapter 5 of the GDPR by assessing international data transfers directly within Jira Cloud.

The new Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) stipulate in Clause 14 that parties shall conduct a Transfer Impact Assessment to determine whether the transfer mechanism under Articles 45 et seq. of the GDPR effectively ensures an adequate level of data protection in the third country. If a TIA is not carefully drafted, the SCCs could become void, resulting in an unauthorized transfer of personal data from the EU to a third country and potential GDPR fines.
