CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFER ANALYSIS

VENDOR & SUPPLY-CHAIN DATA DILIGENCE
HELP CLIENTS EVALUATE
- What data a vendor can access
- Where the vendor is located
- Ownership/control
- Subcontractors
- Foreign access
- Cloud providers
- Contractual protections
- DSP implications
- Related privacy/cybersecurity issues
PRIVACY PROGRAM SUPPORT
WHERE PRIVACY AND DSP ISSUES OVERLAP
- Privacy policies
- Data-use documentation
- Data-sharing agreements
- Data-processing agreements
- Privacy compliance processes
- Sensitive-data identification based on client-provided information
A.S.H.A Law. is providing legal analysis, not technical data discovery or data mapping.
EXPORT CONTROLS OVERLAP
Analyze situations where a transaction involving sensitive data, technology, foreign parties, or international activity may raise both DSP and export-control questions.
The site should avoid suggesting that the firm is an export-controls-only practice.
CFIUS-ADJACENT OWNERSHIP QUESTIONS
Help clients identify ownership/control and foreign-party issues relevant to DSP analysis and understand where a transaction may raise adjacent national-security considerations.
Do not market this as full CFIUS representation unless separately appropriate.
INCIDENT PREPAREDNESS
A.S.H.A Law. does not provide technical incident response.
THE FIRM CAN HELP COMPANIES PREPARE LEGALLY BEFORE A PROBLEM OCCURS, INCLUDING:
- Legal escalation procedures
- Data-security compliance documentation
- Incident-response legal planning
- Vendor contractual provisions
- Notification and regulatory considerations
- Documentation and decision-making processes
- Coordination with technical incident-response professionals
M&A DATA DILIGENCE

- What sensitive data it holds
- How the data is collected and used
- Foreign access
- Vendors
- Cross-border arrangements

- Privacy compliance
- Cybersecurity legal issues
- Relevant ownership/control questions
