Why every agency needs a DPA
- It is legally required. GDPR Article 28(3): no processor may process personal data for a controller without a written contract containing the mandatory clauses. Working without one exposes both parties to fines up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover.
- Enterprise clients ask for it first. In vendor assessments the DPA is the first document requested. Having a standard one ready shortens sales cycles.
- It defines who does what when something goes wrong. Breach notification duties, sub-processor approval and audit rights are agreed before an incident — not during one.
