Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's GDPR Data Processing Addendum skill uses AI to draft execution-ready DPAs that satisfy Article 28 controller-processor requirements while preserving commercial operability. It generates structured clause text, populated schedules, and a prioritized open-items list—turning days of manual drafting into a streamlined, review-ready workflow.

Drafting GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendums is a time-intensive, error-prone process that requires tracking dozens of Article 28 obligations, populating detailed processing schedules, and coordinating sub-processor and transfer safeguard provisions. Legal teams often spend days assembling DPAs from templates, manually cross-referencing governing agreements, and chasing missing information from business stakeholders.

CaseMark automates the entire DPA drafting workflow by analyzing your governing agreement, processing scope, and sub-processor details to produce review-ready clause text with populated schedules. The AI validates cross-references, flags undefined terms, and generates a structured open-items list so counsel can focus on negotiation strategy rather than document assembly.

How it works

1. Upload your master agreement, processing scope details, and sub-processor inventory
2. AI analyzes inputs and generates Article 28-compliant DPA clause text with populated schedules
3. Review the structured output, open-items list, and cross-reference validation notes
4. Export the execution-ready DPA in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does the DPA cover all GDPR Article 28 requirements?

Yes. CaseMark generates clauses covering every Article 28 obligation including processor instructions, purpose limitation, confidentiality, security, sub-processor controls, data-subject rights assistance, breach notification, audit rights, transfer safeguards, and data return/deletion.

Can I use this for SaaS, cloud, and outsourcing agreements?

Absolutely. CaseMark's DPA drafting skill is designed to produce an attachable annex compatible with SaaS subscriptions, cloud service agreements, and outsourcing contracts. The recitals and conflict hierarchy automatically link to your governing agreement.

How does the tool handle cross-border data transfers?

CaseMark incorporates transfer safeguard clauses based on your inputs, including SCC/BCR status, adequacy decisions, and destination countries. It flags any gaps in your transfer analysis as open items for counsel review.

What if I'm missing some of the required information?

CaseMark generates an Open Items list that clearly identifies missing inputs—such as DPO contacts, certifications, or sub-processor details—so your legal team knows exactly what to gather before finalization.

Can I customize the clause language for negotiation?

Yes. The output is review-ready clause text, not a locked template. You can edit any provision, adjust notice windows, audit cadence, cost-sharing terms, and liability caps to match your negotiation position.

Does CaseMark validate the drafted DPA for consistency?

CaseMark runs a validation pass checking for undefined terms, contradictory cross-references, and missing schedule entries, then surfaces any issues in the Open Items section so nothing slips through.
