Scope Summary
Define which products, services, or business units process EU personal data and the categories of data involved, so reviewers can focus on applicable obligations and cross-border flows.
A clear presentation reduces regulatory uncertainty by mapping GDPR requirements to specific U.S. processes, identifying cross-border transfer mechanisms, and documenting security and contractual safeguards to support compliance and risk decisions.
Legal, privacy, compliance, and data governance teams typically prepare these presentations to inform stakeholders and support vendor or product decisions.
Presentations are also used by procurement, sales, and third-party risk teams when onboarding vendors that may access or process EU personal data.
