Description

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is a legally required contract between a data controller (such as a company) and a data processor (such as a cloud provider or IT service). It ensures that personal data is handled securely and in compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA. The agreement outlines data protection measures, breach notification procedures, and the processor’s obligations. DPAs help businesses protect customer data, prevent legal liabilities, and maintain regulatory compliance. Failure to comply can result in heavy fines and reputational damage.
