Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

A DPA outlines obligations between data controllers and processors regarding the handling of personal data under privacy laws. This playbook discusses key terms including processing scope, security measures, and cross-border transfers.

Service Levels & SLAs

Why This Matters: Well-defined SLAs protect operational continuity, ensure service quality, and provide clear recourse in the event of underperformance.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Data Controller:

Ensure SLAs are aligned with business objectives and include clear, measurable metrics. Negotiate for strong penalty structures to incentivize compliance.

If you're the Data Processor:

Propose SLAs that are achievable and align with your operational capabilities. Be prepared to discuss reasonable penalties and remedies for non-compliance.

Essential elements

2

Reporting Requirements

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if SLAs lack clarity or measurability.

EDIT

ADD

PRO TIP

Always ensure SLAs are specific and enforceable to avoid disputes.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Preferred Service Level Clause

"The Service Provider shall maintain a service uptime of 99.9% as measured monthly. Failure to meet this standard will result in a penalty of 5% of the monthly service fee."
NEUTRAL

Fallback Service Level Clause

"The Service Provider shall strive to maintain a service uptime of 99.9%. In the event of failure, the parties will negotiate a reasonable penalty."
UNFAVORABLE

Vague Service Level Clause

"The Service Provider will aim to provide high-quality service without specific metrics or penalties."

Alternative scenarios & positions

For critical operations, enhance SLAs with stringent metrics and penalties to ensure protection and recourse.

Emerging Markets

In less stable markets, include flexible SLAs to accommodate potential service disruptions.

Long-Term Contracts

For extended agreements, incorporate periodic SLA reviews to adapt to changing needs and technologies.
