Implementing International Data Transfers: IDTA, SCCs, BCRs and DUAA

International data transfers remain one of the most challenging areas of data protection compliance as UK, EU and global requirements continue to evolve.

Are you fully up to speed with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), ICO Addendum and Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs)?

Are you confident applying the EU Transfer Impact Assessment requirements alongside the UK Data Protection Test, as now reflected in the UK GDPR following the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025?

One wrong move in an international data transfer can create significant compliance and operational risks.

With personal data routinely moving between countries through suppliers, cloud services, group companies, customers and other business relationships, understanding which rules apply - and which transfer mechanism to use - is essential.

The UK and EU now operate distinct data protection frameworks, with organisations often needing to navigate both sets of requirements.

This course examines the practical differences between the two regimes, including adequacy, the impact of Schrems II, transfer risk assessments and the UK Data Protection Test, and the mechanisms available for making lawful international transfers.

The course has also been updated to reflect the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and the latest ICO guidance on international transfers.

You will examine the EU SCCs, UK IDTA and ICO Addendum, BCRs and derogations, together with the circumstances in which each mechanism can be used. The course also considers territoriality and extra-territoriality, helping you identify when UK or EU rules apply to your data flows.

This practical training is designed to give legal, compliance, contracts and other professionals involved in international data transfers a clear understanding of the current framework and the practical steps needed to manage cross-border data flows effectively.

There will be time during the course to ask your specific questions to the expert trainer.
