Security Addendum SOC 2 Compliance

A Security Addendum & SOC 2 Compliance Agreement supplements core contracts with detailed cybersecurity, audit, and compliance obligations. This playbook provides strategies for negotiating risk allocation, incident response, and certification evidence.

Data Breach Notification

Why This Matters: Timely breach response mitigates legal and reputational damage and ensures compliance with data protection laws.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Client:

Ensure the notification timeframe is specified as 'without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours.' Include details on the nature of the breach, affected data subjects, and mitigation measures.

If you're the Vendor:

Define roles for investigation and remediation support, ensuring both parties' responsibilities are clear. Establish communication protocols with designated points of contact and procedures for stakeholder communication.
