<p>We are working constructively with the Commission to secure data adequacy by the
end of the transition period. We see no reason why we should not be awarded adequacy.
However, the process is controlled by the Commission, and we are realistic about the
increasingly challenging timelines for completion.</p><p>If adequacy decisions are
not in place by the end of the transition period, organisations would be able to use
alternative legal mechanisms to continue receiving personal data from the EU. Standard
Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are the most common legal safeguard and will be the relevant
mitigation for most organisations.</p><p>The ICO has created an interactive SCCs tool
for businesses to use and further guidance can be found on GOV.UK and the ICO’s website
regarding steps organisations may be required to take relating to data protection
and data flows by the end of the transition period.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
