The Order Processing Agreement is required whenever an organization (the processor) processes personal data on behalf of another organization (the controller) under Dutch jurisdiction. This mandatory agreement ensures compliance with Article 28 of the GDPR and the Dutch UAVG (Implementation Act). It must be in place before any data processing begins and should detail the scope, purpose, and type of processing, security measures, confidentiality obligations, and procedures for data breaches. The agreement is particularly crucial in the Netherlands, where the Dutch Data Protection Authority actively enforces data protection requirements and provides specific guidance on processor agreements. It serves as a critical compliance document that protects both parties by clearly defining their roles, responsibilities, and liabilities in the data processing relationship.
