What GDPR Data Processing Agreement (DPA) Checklist requires
A compliant Data Processing Agreement establishes a legally binding contract defining the processor's obligations, consistent with European Data Protection Board Guidelines 07/2020. The processor must act exclusively upon documented controller instructions, a mandate under which `unauthorized_cross_border_transfers_blocked` is enforced. This requirement extends to personnel, for whom `personnel_confidentiality_verified` commitments are mandatory. Pursuant to Article 28(3)(c) and Article 32, security of processing is paramount, with `art_32_security_measures_active` representing a baseline condition. Engaging any sub-processor necessitates prior written authorization, as stipulated by Article 28(2); moreover, all data protection obligations must be flowed down contractually, ensuring `subprocessor_flow_down_liability_active`. The processor’s duty to assist its controller is fundamental. This includes enabling responses to data subject requests through `dsar_assistance_enabled` functionality and supporting Data Protection Impact Assessment consultations. Following a personal data breach, notification to the controller must occur without undue delay, respecting the `breach_notification_max_hours` threshold of 72 hours. Upon termination of services, `post_contract_data_deletion_required` is triggered, permitting a `retention_period_days_post_termination` of zero days to guarantee complete data removal. Finally, `controller_audit_rights_enabled` allows for verification of these ongoing compliance commitments.
