Overview

CaseMark's GDPR DPA Drafting skill generates execution-ready Data Processing Addendums fully aligned with Article 28 controller-processor requirements. It produces structured clause text, populated schedules covering processing scope, sub-processors, and transfer safeguards, plus an open-items list that ensures nothing falls through the cracks during negotiation.

Drafting GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendums is a painstaking process that requires mapping dozens of Article 28 obligations into precise contract language, populating processing schedules, tracking sub-processor chains, and ensuring cross-border transfer mechanisms are properly documented. A single missed clause or inconsistent cross-reference can expose organizations to regulatory risk and derail vendor negotiations.

CaseMark automates the entire DPA drafting workflow by analyzing your governing agreement, processing scope, and sub-processor inventory to generate complete, Article 28-aligned clause text with populated schedules. The built-in validation checks for undefined terms, contradictory references, and missing inputs, producing a clean open-items list so counsel can focus on negotiation strategy rather than document assembly.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your master agreement, processing scope details, and sub-processor inventory

  2. 2. AI analyzes inputs and generates Article 28-compliant DPA clause text with populated schedules

  3. 3. Review the structured output including the open-items list flagging any missing information

  4. 4. Export the finalized DPA as an attachable annex in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does this DPA comply with GDPR Article 28 requirements?

Yes. CaseMark generates clause text aligned with all Article 28 controller-processor obligations, including instructions, security, sub-processor controls, breach notification, audit rights, and data deletion. However, legal counsel should always review the final output.

Can I use this for cross-border data transfers?

Absolutely. CaseMark incorporates transfer safeguard clauses covering Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), and adequacy decisions based on the transfer context you provide.

How does the open-items list work?

CaseMark automatically identifies any missing information—such as incomplete party details, unsigned sub-processor lists, or unspecified transfer mechanisms—and compiles them into a clear open-items section so your legal team knows exactly what needs resolution.

Can I customize the DPA for SaaS, cloud, or outsourcing agreements?

Yes. CaseMark adapts the DPA structure and clause language based on the governing agreement type you upload, whether it's a SaaS subscription, cloud infrastructure contract, or outsourcing arrangement.

Does CaseMark handle sub-processor management clauses?

Yes. The tool generates sub-processor control clauses including prior authorization mechanisms, notification obligations, and flow-down requirements, and populates a sub-processor schedule from your provided inventory.

Is the output ready for execution?

CaseMark produces review-ready clause text with populated schedules designed to be attached as an annex to your governing agreement. While the output is structured for execution, legal review is recommended before signing.
