The United States is our close ally and tech partner and we are committed to ensuring that this delivers real benefits and protections for people on both sides of the Atlantic. British companies that contract with companies that have not signed up to US systems, and so are not covered by adequacy, will be obliged to ensure that there are contractual obligations for compliance with GDPR.

My Lords, according to an Answer to a Written Question that I received last week, the Government do not centrally record how much of Government’s critical digital infrastructure relies on cloud or computing services that are headquartered overseas or under the jurisdiction of a foreign Government. Will the Government take steps now to assess that exposure? Will Ministers commit to developing a digital sovereignty strategy to ensure that our national security and resilience, and the protection of citizens’ data, are not undermined by reliance on foreign-hosted systems?
