How It Works
The system ingests regulatory changes affecting transfer validity as its primary data source. The processing layer applies the appropriate analytical models to the structured data, generating scored outputs that surface the most actionable insights. The output — transfer impact assessments from country-level risk data — surfaces in the existing workflow where the practitioner can review and act on it.
What Changes
Transfer mapping and TIA generation are automated. AI continuously monitors regulatory developments that could affect existing transfer mechanisms.
What Stays
You still make the supplementary measures assessment, advise on whether data localization is required, and handle the strategic decision about which transfer mechanism to rely on.
