Why This Matters: Strong security and privacy controls reduce the risk of data breaches and regulatory fines, safeguarding reputation and minimizing legal exposure.

Ensure that the contract includes comprehensive data security measures and compliance with applicable regulations. Negotiate for regular security audits and clear breach response protocols.
