Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) - Unicis.Tech OÜ Docs

The Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) module helps organizations comply with Chapter 5 of the GDPR by assessing whether personal data transfers to third countries meet adequate data protection standards.

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