DPAs’ guidances to survive in the post-‘Schrems II’ world

While privacy pros advise to seek to put in place SCC as a substitution for the invalidated Privacy Shield, it should, however, be noted that SCC are by itself a safeguard with a limited scope of application as: (i) it still does not cover many processing scenarios (e.g., processor-to-controller, processor-to-sub-processor); (ii) it is quite outdated (issued in 2001, 2004 and 2010 in the pre-GDPR world); (iii) its validity has been put on several conditions by the ‘Schrems II’ decision.

However, it can be confirmed that this is in fact very true. At least, this will make people listen, but this is, of course, not entirely enough.
