Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Processor has implemented and shall continue to maintain reasonable and effective physical, electronic, procedural, administrative and technical controls and safeguards (the “Safeguards”) similar to the ones found in the NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, or other recognized standards or cyber security framework, which are designed to meet the following objectives:

where such transfers are governed by a valid mechanism for the lawful transfer of Personal Data recognized under the GDPR and other Privacy and Data Protection Laws such as by entering into appropriate versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses or UK Standard Contractual Clauses.
Authorization. Processor agrees that it will not subcontract any of its Processing activities in connection with this DPA unless:

Approved Subprocessor’s name, address, and contact information;
type(s) of service provided by the Approved Subprocessor; and
categories of Personal Data to be disclosed by Processor to Approved Subprocessor.

This audit may be conducted by Controller itself or through a thirdparty auditor selected by Controller at the relevant facilities of Processor or its affiliates. Controller shall provide at least one-week advance written notice and the audit shall be conducted during normal business hours. If Processor obtains and maintains privacy and security certifications through an internationally-recognized organization (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002; ISO 27701 (PIMS); ISO/IEC 27032; UK NIS Regulations 2018; NIST (CSF); etc.) or a report from an internationally-recognized external auditor, a copy of such certification or report may be acceptable to Scout to demonstrate annual data privacy or cybersecurity compliance.
Parties’ Relationship. In connection with the Agreement, Scout will be sharing Personal Data for “Business Purposes” as defined in the CCPA, more specifically set forth in set out in Attachment A (collectively “Contracted Business Purposes”). As between the parties, Scout is the “Business” and Processor is the “Service Provider”, in each case, as those terms are defined in the CCPA.
Processor’s Obligations.
As a “Service Provider” under the CCPA, Processor will only collect, use, retain, or disclose Personal Data for the Contracted Business Purposes for which Scout provides or permits Personal Data access as additionally set out in Attachment A, Schedule 1.
Processor will not collect, use, retain, share, disclose, or otherwise make Personal Data available for Processor’s own commercial purposes or in any way that does not comply with the CCPA. This includes combining the Personal Data that Processor receives from Scout with Personal Data Processor receives from or on behalf of another person or persons or that Processor collects from its own interaction with any third parties. Processor will refrain from taking any action that would cause any transfers of Personal Data to or from Scout to qualify as “selling” or “sharing” as those terms are defined in the CCPA. If a law requires the Processor to disclose Personal Data for a purpose unrelated to the Contracted Business Purpose, the Processor must first inform Scout of the legal requirement and give Scout an opportunity to object or challenge the requirement.
Processor will limit Personal Data collection, use, retention, and disclosure to activities reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the Contracted Business Purposes or another compatible operational purpose and agrees to keep all Personal Data strictly confidential.
Any subcontractor used must qualify as a Service Provider under the CCPA and Processor cannot make any disclosures to the subcontractor or any other third party that the CCPA or Data Privacy and Protection Laws would treat as a “sale.”
Scout shall have the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to help ensure that Processor uses the Personal Data transferred in a manner consistent with Scout’s obligations under Privacy and Data Protection Laws. Processor additionally grants Scout the right, upon reasonable notice, to take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate any unauthorized use of Personal Data by Processor.
Warranties and Certification. Processor will comply with all applicable requirements of the CCPA (including providing CPRA-level data privacy protection at minimum in all jurisdictions) when collecting, using, retaining, or disclosing Personal Data.
Processor certifies to Controller that it understands this DPA's and the CCPA's restrictions and prohibitions on selling or sharing Personal Data and retaining, using, or disclosing Personal Data outside of the Parties' direct business relationship, and it will comply with them.
Processor represents and warrants to Controller that it has no reason to believe any CCPA requirements or restrictions prevent it from providing any of the Contracted Business Purposes or otherwise performing under this DPA or the Parties’ Agreement. Processor must promptly notify Scout of any changes to the CCPA’s requirements that may adversely affect its performance under this DPA or the Parties’ Agreement.
Processor represents and warrants to Controller that it is receiving Personal Data only because it is necessary for the Processor to perform the Contracted Business Purposes.
Return or Deletion of Personal Data. Processor shall promptly (in any event, within 10 business days of the date of cessation of any actions involving the Processing of Personal Data (the "Cessation Date"), either
delete and procure the deletion of all copies of Personal Data or
return any copies of Personal Data to Controller if so requested by Controller prior to the Cessation Date. Further, Processor shall return or delete Personal Data to Controller any time upon Controller’s written request.
Return or Destroy Personal Data. In case of Personal Data contained in physical forms or forms that are not possible for deletion, Processor shall promptly (in any event, within 10 business days of the Cessation Date), return or destroy and procure such action of all copies of such Personal Data.
Applicable Law. In the event applicable law prevents the destruction or return of certain Personal Data received by Processor, the Processor warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of such Personal Data and will not actively Process the Personal Data, and will guarantee the return or the destruction of Personal Data as requested by Controller when the legal obligation to not return or destroy the Personal Data is no longer in effect. To extent permitted by law, Processor shall notify Controller of any such retention obligation in writing and provide the retention schedules for all records retained by Processor.
Written Certification. Processor shall provide written certification to Controller that it has fully complied with this Section within 10 business days of the Cessation Date.
