Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) Template

This template is the instrument that records and evidences a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA): the documented assessment an organization completes before transferring personal data to a third country in reliance on an Article 46 transfer tool, to confirm that the tool secures, in the destination country, a level of protection essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the EEA. It operationalizes the six-step methodology in the EDPB Recommendations 01/2020 on measures that supplement transfer tools (attributed; the methodology is articulated by the European Data Protection Board, not reproduced verbatim here) and evidences compliance with GDPR Chapter V (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Articles 44 to 49).
