Cross-border data transfer compliance
Cross-border data transfer compliance in the Energy, Power & Commodities sector is under active pressure from multiple directions. The European Commission's adequacy decisions under GDPR Chapter V create direct obligations for U.S. and Asia-Pacific energy firms moving operational and trading data into EU jurisdictions, while the U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have each signaled data localization and cybersecurity disclosure expectations that intersect with transfer restrictions. Compliance teams are currently mapping SCADA and trading platform data flows against Standard Contractual Clause requirements before audits hit.
