Episode 24 — Cloud and Third-Party Sharing: Processing Agreements and Due Diligence

Cloud services and third-party vendors introduce unique privacy challenges. This episode examines how processing agreements define roles and responsibilities between controllers and processors, including clauses on security, breach notification, and sub-processing. Due diligence processes—such as audits, questionnaires, and certifications—help ensure vendors meet contractual and regulatory requirements.

We’ll also explore how cloud environments complicate data flows, requiring clear accountability for shared infrastructure. Understanding these agreements is essential for both compliance and exam preparation, as scenarios often hinge on distinguishing responsibilities across different parties.
