1

Record the transfer

These details appear in the editable working document and evidence report.

2

Record the decision evidence

Do not treat a bare yes or no as evidence. State the document, fact, test or decision supporting each answer.

Restricted-transfer test

UK GDPR applies to the processing

Answer for the specific processing covered by this transfer.

The organisation initiates a transfer outside the UK

Include making personal data accessible to the overseas recipient.

The recipient is a separate legal entity

A branch of the same legal entity does not satisfy this step.

Transfer route

A current UK adequacy regulation covers the destination and transfer

Check current scope, restrictions and any certification requirements.

EU SCCs are already used for the same transfer

This may support use of the UK Addendum rather than the IDTA.

A permitted appropriate safeguard is selected

For this tool, record whether the current IDTA or Addendum route has been chosen.

Data protection test

Transfer risk assessment completed

Assess whether the safeguard provides materially lower protection in the destination.

Necessary supplementary measures are recorded

Record technical, contractual or organisational measures where the assessment identifies a gap.

Completion record

Parties, data, purpose, security and onward-transfer details recorded

Use these facts to complete the official IDTA or Addendum obtained from the ICO.

Create the review resultUncertain answers and unsupported yes or no answers remain unresolved.

What this tool checks

The scope stays narrow so the result is clear and reproducible.

From official material to a working record

Official material sets the basis

Official ICO material explains the restricted-transfer test, adequacy, safeguards, TRA approach and current IDTA and Addendum documents.

The tool prepares the operational record

The pack converts one transfer’s recorded facts into a route decision, TRA evidence and completion worksheet without copying or modifying the official instrument.

Official sources stay visible

Each supported check shows its jurisdiction, source title, source version and review date beside the result. Unsupported cases are rejected rather than estimated.

Questions before you use the tool

Scope, files, evidence and browser-local handling.

Does the pack include the official IDTA or Addendum?

No. It prepares the facts and review evidence needed to complete the current official document obtained directly from the ICO.

Does the tool decide whether foreign law gives adequate protection?

No. The responsible team records its assessment and evidence. Uncertain or unsupported positions remain visible.

Can it assess an Article 49 exception?

No. Article 49 exceptions require a separate route and are outside this pack.

Where are transfer details processed?

The transfer facts, evidence notes and generated files remain in this browser.

Record the transfer route

Describe the transfer, evidence the safeguard and inspect the TRA gaps before completing the current official document.
