Data Transfer Assessment Information - Navigating GDPR Compliance on AWS

Data Transfer Assessment Information

The following sections provide customers with information to assist in conducting a DTA. Since AWS does not know what content customers upload to AWS services, customers need to evaluate the details of their processing, taking into account how they are using AWS services, to prepare their DTA. In order to provide customers with the most helpful information for their DTA, the sections have been structured according to the instructions for completing DTAs set out in the EDPB Recommendations, which recommend that data exporters perform the following six-step data transfer assessment (the EDPB data transfer assessment):

  • Step 4: Adoption of supplementary measures (if required)

  • Step 5: Procedural steps for supplementary measures

  • Step 6: Re-evaluation
