Key Takeaways From the SCL Outsourcing Masterclass

Mercedes Samavi was featured in the Society for Computers and Law’s coverage of its Outsourcing Masterclass, held November 20, 2019 in London.

The recap of Mercedes’ session, “A Regulatory Perspective on Outsourcing Deals,” noted that Mercedes “considered the clarity that the prescribed list of processor terms set out in the DDPR brings in an outsourcing context, and noted the areas where there is less clarity and room for a contractual allocation of risk.” She also highlighted “the continuing uncertainty as to the enforceability of indemnities that purport to cover GDPR fines.”
