Cloud Services Agreement

A Cloud Services Agreement defines the legal and operational framework for cloud infrastructure or platform usage. This playbook outlines negotiation of service levels, data handling, and termination assistance provisions.

Data Privacy & Security

Why This Matters: Data breaches and noncompliance can result in significant legal penalties and damage to the company’s reputation, making strict controls essential.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Customer:

Ensure that all data protection clauses are comprehensive and align with the company's internal policies. Insist on regular audits and updates to security measures.

If you're the Service Provider:

Negotiate for reasonable timelines and responsibilities in data breach notifications. Ensure that compliance requirements are feasible and clearly defined.
