GDPR DPA clause · critical
Technical and Organizational Measures
The clause setting the security baseline — the technical and organizational measures the processor must maintain.
What the clause requires
The processor must implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures (for example encryption, access control).
Why a GDPR DPA needs it
Articles 28(3)(c) and 32 require appropriate security of processing. Without a stated baseline there is no agreed standard to hold the processor to after an incident.
Risk if it is missing
Personal data may be processed with no defined security baseline, raising breach risk.
