Your compliance obligations don't stop at your own front door.
The moment an external service provider processes personal data on your behalf, you need legally sound contracts in place. Our data protection experts support you in drafting, reviewing, and maintaining your Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) – on an ongoing basis, not just at signing.

Your external partners are part of your data protection structure.
From software providers to agencies – whenever third parties process data on your behalf, your contracts and processes must be properly established.
Unclear when a data processing agreement is necessary
Not every service provider requires the same contractual arrangements. It is often unclear which partners are actually subject to data processing agreement requirements.
Generic templates rarely hold up
Many contracts are based on generic templates that fail to reflect your company's actual processes or individual requirements.
Documentation becomes outdated quickly
Data processing agreements are not one-off documents. Contracts and processes must be reviewed regularly and adapted to new requirements.
Legally compliant DPAs are not created using standard templates.
Every organization works with a different mix of vendors, processes, and requirements. That's why every DPA needs to be approached individually.
