Contracts are central to ensuring compliance with state privacy laws. This episode explains how data protection agreements define the obligations between controllers and processors, including rules for data use, security, subcontracting, and breach notification. We’ll also review assessment requirements, where organizations must conduct and document evaluations of high-risk data processing activities such as targeted advertising or sensitive data handling.

We highlight how these agreements and assessments demonstrate accountability and provide evidence of due diligence to regulators. Exam questions often present scenarios where vendor contracts or assessments are incomplete, requiring you to identify compliance gaps. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
