The Transfer Impact Assessment Template That Actually Scales Under GDPR
Your spreadsheet TIA worked when you had 5 transfers. Now you have 150+ across 12 entities and 3 jurisdictions. Priverion replaces fragile templates with a structured, auditable TIA workflow — built into the same platform where you manage your ROPAs, DPIAs, and vendor assessments.

Your TIA Template Wasn't Built for This Level of Complexity
A Word doc was fine when you had a handful of cross-border transfers. But spreadsheets and static templates create four predictable failure modes that put your compliance posture at risk.
Version Chaos Across Entities
You emailed v7_final_FINAL.docx to your Irish subsidiary last quarter. They edited it. You edited yours. Now nobody knows which TIA is current — and your supervisory authority just asked for documentation.
Multiply that across 12 entities and 150+ transfers, and version control becomes a full-time job nobody signed up for.

No Link to Processing Activities
A Word template lives in isolation. It doesn't connect to the ROPA entry, the vendor risk assessment, or the DPIA that triggered it. When an auditor asks "show me the full picture," you're stitching together four documents manually.
Disconnected documentation isn't just inefficient — it's a compliance risk. Gaps between records are exactly where supervisory authorities probe.

No Audit Trail, No Accountability
GDPR Article 5(2) requires you to demonstrate compliance, not just achieve it. A static template has no timestamp, no approval log, no record of who assessed what and when. You can't prove what you can't trace.
And when team members leave or change roles, institutional knowledge walks out the door with them. The template stays — empty of context.
100%
audit-trail coverage for every TIA action inside Priverion — logged automatically, zero manual effort
Priverion platform capability, verified across all customer deployments
These aren't edge cases. They're the everyday reality for privacy teams managing cross-border transfers with tools that weren't designed for the job.
A TIA Workflow That Lives Inside Your Privacy Program
Instead of a standalone document, Priverion embeds transfer impact assessments into your operational compliance workflow — connected to your ROPAs, DPIAs, vendor assessments, and audit trail from day one.
EDPB-Aligned Six-Step Framework
Each TIA follows the EDPB's Recommendations 01/2020 methodology — mapping your transfer, identifying the legal basis, assessing third-country law, evaluating supplementary measures, and documenting your decision. No interpretation guesswork.
Connected to Your ROPA and DPIA Records
Every TIA links directly to the processing activity and data protection impact assessment that triggered it. When an auditor asks for the full picture, you generate it in minutes — not hours of manual stitching.
AI-Assisted Risk Scoring
Priverion's AI assists with preliminary risk scoring based on the recipient country's legal framework, transfer circumstances, and your supplementary measures. All AI outputs are reviewed by your team before becoming compliance records. No customer data is used for model training.
Group-Wide Transfer Visibility
See every cross-border transfer across all subsidiaries in a single dashboard. Identify which entities have pending TIAs, which assessments need recertification, and where your highest-risk transfers sit — without chasing local DPOs for updates.
Automated Recertification Reminders
When a third-country's legal landscape changes — or when your SCC-based transfer hits its review date — Priverion flags it automatically. No more calendar reminders or hoping someone remembers to reassess.
Audit-Ready Evidence Packages
Generate complete documentation for supervisory authorities in minutes. Every TIA action — creation, edit, approval, review — is timestamped and logged. Your audit trail is built as you work, not reconstructed after the fact.
Results from Privacy Teams Who Made the Switch
200+
Hours saved on ROPA management
Medtec redirected 200+ hours from manual ROPA processes toward ISO 27001 certification prep — achieving readiness 3 months ahead of schedule.
60%
Less compliance admin time
Based on Aircraft manufacturer's first 6 months: predictable pricing without per-user expansion traps, covering all subsidiaries from day one.
100%
ROPA recertification rate
AXA achieved 100% automated ROPA recertification across all entities — eliminating the manual chase entirely.
What Privacy Teams Say
"Before Priverion, we spent more time chasing business units for ROPA updates than doing actual privacy work. Now recertification is automated, our TIAs are connected to every processing activity, and I can generate an audit-ready package in minutes. I finally have my Friday afternoons back."
Managing privacy compliance across multiple subsidiaries
Built for the companies OneTrust forgot about
OneTrust serves Fortune 500 organizations with broader GRC scope and dedicated privacy teams. Priverion was built for the 12-subsidiary enterprise that needs to be audit-ready next quarter — without hiring a Big Four consultancy to configure it.
The enterprise incumbents
Data residency
US-headquartered. Data processing subject to US jurisdiction and potential FISA 702 access requests — a live concern in post-Schrems II Europe.
Pricing model
Per-user, per-module pricing that escalates with each subsidiary added. Mid-market organizations often find costs doubling or tripling by year two.
Implementation
Months-long deployment cycles, often requiring external consultants for configuration. Features designed for teams of 50+ privacy professionals.
Platform scope
Sprawling GRC suite covering ESG, ethics hotlines, cookie consent, and dozens of tangential modules. You pay for capabilities you will never use.
Multi-entity management
Group-wide visibility bolted on as an afterthought. Cross-entity ROPA recertification and subsidiary rollups require significant manual orchestration.
AI approach
AI features with limited transparency on data handling, model training, and where your compliance data is processed.
Priverion
Swiss data sovereignty
Swiss-built and Swiss-hosted. All data processing within Swiss infrastructure — outside US and EU jurisdiction. European data residency guaranteed, not promised.
Predictable pricing
Based on number of entities and organizational size — not per-user or per-module. Add team members without cost surprises. Your year-three price looks like year one.
Weeks, not months
Operational in weeks with a UX designed for DPOs managing 3–50 entities, not privacy teams of 50. No external consultants required.
Purpose-built for privacy
ROPA, DPIA/TIA, vendor risk, DSRs, breach management, and compliance dashboards — all integrated. We don't do ESG or cookie consent. What we do, we do exceptionally well.
Group-wide by design
Multi-entity management is our foundation, not a bolt-on. Cross-entity data mapping, automated ROPA recertification, and subsidiary-level dashboards from day one.
Transparent AI
AI-assisted DPIA drafting and risk scoring — processed on Swiss infrastructure. All AI outputs reviewed by humans before becoming compliance records. No customer data used for model training. Ever.

Frequently Asked Questions About Transfer Impact Assessments
What is a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) under GDPR?
A Transfer Impact Assessment is a documented evaluation required under GDPR (particularly post-Schrems II) to determine whether a third country provides adequate protection for personal data transfers. It evaluates the legal framework of the recipient country, the specific transfer circumstances, and any supplementary measures needed to ensure GDPR-equivalent protection.
When is a TIA required?
A TIA is required whenever you transfer personal data outside the EEA to a country without an EU adequacy decision and rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) as your transfer mechanism. The EDPB's Recommendations 01/2020 provide the six-step framework for conducting these assessments.
How does Priverion differ from a static TIA template?
A static template is a one-time document that quickly becomes outdated. Priverion provides a living TIA workflow that connects directly to your ROPA entries, vendor risk assessments, and DPIAs. Every assessment has a full audit trail, automated recertification reminders, and group-wide visibility across all subsidiaries.
Can Priverion handle TIAs across multiple subsidiaries and jurisdictions?
Yes. Multi-entity management is Priverion's core strength. You can manage TIAs across all group entities from a single platform, with subsidiary-level dashboards, cross-entity data mapping, and centralized oversight — while maintaining local accountability.
Where is Priverion data hosted?
All data is processed and stored on Swiss infrastructure. Priverion is Swiss-built and Swiss-hosted, providing European data residency outside both US and EU jurisdiction — a meaningful distinction for organizations concerned about post-Schrems II data sovereignty.
Does Priverion use AI, and is it safe for compliance data?
Priverion offers AI-assisted DPIA drafting, risk scoring, and regulatory mapping. All AI processing occurs on Swiss infrastructure, all outputs are reviewed by humans before becoming compliance records, and no customer data is ever used for model training. AI assists human decision-making — it never replaces it.
