The Court of Justice of the European Union continues to shape cross-border data transfer law following landmark rulings such as Schrems II.
Recent clarifications emphasize the requirement for supplementary measures when transferring data outside the EU under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Organizations must conduct Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) assessing third-country surveillance risks and enforceable rights.
Companies relying on cloud infrastructure providers must verify encryption practices, access controls, and government access safeguards.
This ongoing jurisprudence reinforces that cross-border data flows demand risk-based legal analysis, technical safeguards, and documented compliance processes.
