Demystifying International Data Transfers

This immersive training delves into the ever-growing importance of international data transfers in today’s globalised world. We’ll explore the benefits and challenges associated with these transfers, examining the various methods and technologies used to move data across borders. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how globalisation has driven the development of data protection regulations and frameworks.

Understanding the Rules of the Game

The program equips you with a thorough understanding of the key international and regional data protection regulations governing cross-border transfers. We’ll explore prominent regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant standards, detailing the fundamental principles and requirements for lawful international data transfers.

Restricted Transfers: Making Informed Decisions

Learn to identify and assess restricted transfers, understanding the factors that determine whether a data transfer falls under this category. We’ll delve into the concept of adequacy regulations and their role in facilitating unrestricted transfers to countries with deemed adequate data protection standards.

Balancing Privacy and Necessity

The program tackles the delicate balance between protecting privacy rights and facilitating necessary data transfers for legitimate business purposes. You’ll gain the skills to assess the need for restricted transfers, considering legal and business considerations while mitigating potential risks.

Making Restricted Transfers under UK GDPR

We’ll provide a specific focus on the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), explaining the provisions and requirements related to restricted transfers within this framework. Explore the additional obligations and considerations when making restricted transfers from the UK to other countries.

Transfer Mechanisms: Your Toolbox for Safeguarding Data

The training equips you with a comprehensive understanding of various safeguards and transfer mechanisms available to ensure the protection of personal data during international transfers. We’ll explore popular mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), and other transfer instruments, enabling you to compare and contrast their strengths and limitations for specific transfer scenarios.

Transfer Risk Assessments (TRAs): Proactive Risk Management

Master the process of conducting Transfer Risk Assessments (TRAs). You’ll learn to identify and mitigate risks associated with restricted transfers by analysing factors like data sensitivity, recipient country’s laws, and security measures employed.
