Third Country Settings on Legal Entities

Third country settings let you configure transfer impact assessments and transfer basis requirements directly on legal entities.

When a vendor or sub-processor is located outside the EU/EEA, these settings help you document your GDPR compliance for international data transfers.

Accessing Third Country Settings
  1. Navigate to the legal entity you want to configure.
  2. Click the edit icon.
  3. Select Third country settings.

Configuration Options

Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA)

Mark whether a Transfer Impact Assessment is necessary for this legal entity. This flags the entity for additional review and documentation.

Transfer Basis Requirements

Specify whether a transfer basis is required and select the appropriate protection level. Options include:

  • SCC — GDPR Article 46(2)(c) — Standard Contractual Clauses
  • Other applicable transfer mechanisms under GDPR

Automatic Application

When you set a specific transfer basis on a legal entity, it is automatically applied to all existing transfers where that entity acts as a data processor or sub-processor. This saves you from updating each transfer individually.

Custom Overviews

If you have the Custom Lists add-on, you can generate reports showing all legal entities and their associated transfer bases. This provides a comprehensive compliance overview for audits and reporting.
