Sub-processor agreement
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the legal aspects of our collaboration with a university and the use of Microsoft Azure. Our startup is working closely with a university, and we have established a processor agreement. For our cloud infrastructure, we use Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft provides standard product terms and a data protection addendum (DPA).
The university expects us to have a sub-processor agreement between our company and Azure. Now, I am wondering if, in addition to these standard terms and the DPA, we actually need a separate sub-processor agreement with Azure. We want to ensure that we fully comply with legal requirements, especially regarding data protection and GDPR.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Should we be concerned about needing an additional sub-processor agreement, or are Microsoft’s standard terms and DPA sufficient to cover us in this scenario? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
