Following the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Case C-311/18: Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Ltd and Maximilian Schrems, organizations around the world have begun conducting transfer impact assessments. These TIAs typically consider the sufficiency of foreign protections on a case-by-case basis when data is transferred using standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules or other EU-approved data transfer mechanisms. Given the global impact of the ruling and breadth of sectors affected, there are many different ways to approach such assessments in line with EU guidance.
