Establish a Defensible Position

Prior to Schrems II, the world was engaged in GDPR preparedness and wasn't focused on protecting data when in use. Under Schrems II it is clear that you must now be protected during use - during analytics, AI, and ML - to make it surveillance proof.  The industry must now move beyond mere preparedness to ensure GDPR compliance by protecting data when in use.

Establish a Legally Defensible Position to Avoid Schrems II Immediate Termination of Processing
ALERT: Portuguese DPA Provided 12 Hours Notice to Terminate Processing by Agency Relying on SCCs
Data Supply Chain Business Continuity Solution
Terminated access to the data necessary for your business operations is more immediately impactful than the possibility of penalties, sanctions, data breaches or third party claims.

Avoid the risk of terminated access to critical data supply chains. Many of your partners and clients may be unwilling to take the risk of adverse impacts to their operations from halted data processing by supervisory authorities under the Schrems II ruling. Through connections with them, you may also be impacted (or cut out of the chain!).

Anonos software provides an Immediately Defensible Position to ensure ongoing business operations and lawful use of data without interruption.
  • The Anonos Quick Start program allows you to set up Data Embassy software to create an Immediately Defensible Position. It is proof that a data controller/processor has started the process required to understand and use state-of-the-art technology to comply with their data privacy protection obligations, including those that result from Schrems II.
  • Anonos software maximises the value of data by enforcing lawful scalable controls, to create more opportunities for sustainable data use by protecting data at rest, in transit, and in use, both now and in the future.
Top Schrems II Risks to Business Continuity & Operations

Termination of Data Access by Supply Chain Partners:
  • Termination of access to critical data supply chains by partners unwilling to take the risk of negative impacts to their operations from halted data processing by supervisory authorities
  • Proof of Schrems II Immediately Defensible Position for technical controls for ongoing lawful use of SCCs necessary to ensure access to data for ingoing business operations

Enforcement
