Appropriate Safeguards
Authorized mechanisms to lawfully enable cross‑border transfers.
Definition
Collective term for the transfer mechanisms recognized by SDAIA as creating sufficient protection for cross‑border transfers, specifically SDAIA Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), and Certificates of Accreditation. Controllers must adopt one of these safeguards (using SDAIA templates/guidance where mandated) as a precondition for routine cross‑border transfers.
