DPA review sorted
Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) are required where personal data is processed on behalf of another company, which is the case in almost all SaaS solutions and in many other tech fields. This is especially important with the EU-GDPR and upcoming Swiss FDPA. Companies often encounter larger corporations as clients or partners and are not able to use their own standard DPA. We support you with DPA review and negotiation, so you’re aware of the risks and know what to pay attention to before signing.
Challenges we solve
Assess potential risks
Assess potential risks of the DPA, especially in times of the EU GDPR and upcoming Swiss FDPA (Federal Act on Data Protection) in order to decide whether and how to mitigate them. The worst thing you can do is to sign a DPA without knowing the risks.
Protect your business interests
Make sure that what you want to achieve with the deal is possible with the underlying DPA. At the same time make sure to protect your valuable assets.
Optimize terms & match market standard
We’ll point out whether your specific DPA reflects the market standard for this type of transaction and whether there are areas for possible improvement.
Avoid cost & legal challenges
Clarifications and clearly defined terms before signing a DPA will save you additional legal challenges, conflicts, and costs further down the line.
