Batch Signing Data Transfer Agreements (DTAs)

A Data Transfer Agreement (DTA) is a critical mechanism for ensuring compliance, particularly for cross-border transfers, where a DTA is often mandatory. It legally binds both parties involved in the transfer (specifically the recipient) to maintain a secure and compliant data flow. You can initiate a DTA signing request and associate it with a cross-border transfer scenario on the platform.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Cross-border Transfer > Data Transfer Agreement Batch Signing.
  3. Click Create in the upper left corner of the page. The Create DTA page is displayed.
