Transfer Impact Assessment
(TIA)
Assess and document cross-border data transfers under GDPR Chapter 5 with structured risk analysis. Ensure your SCCs remain valid and your international transfers are legally defensible.
What is a TIA?
A Transfer Impact Assessment is a mandatory due-diligence exercise under GDPR Chapter 5 and SCC Clause 14. It requires organizations transferring personal data to third countries to verify whether the destination country's legal framework adequately protects the data. Without a valid TIA, Standard Contractual Clauses can be rendered void — exposing organizations to significant regulatory risk.
Regulatory Risk
Under SCC Clause 14, failing to conduct a proper TIA can render your Standard Contractual Clauses void — making your cross-border data transfers unauthorized under GDPR. Supervisory authorities have issued significant fines for inadequate transfer documentation.
