PROCESSOR shall be entitled to suspend performance on such instruction until CONTROLLER confirms or modifies such instruction.
3.2 PROCESSOR shall, within PROCESSOR’s scope of responsibility, organize PROCESSOR’s internal organization so it satisfies the specific requirements of data protection. PROCESSOR shall implement technical and organizational measures to ensure the adequate protection of CONTROLLER’s DATA, which measures shall fulfil the requirements of the GDPR and specifically its Article 32. PROCESSOR shall implement technical and organizational measures and safeguards that ensure ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services and shall implement a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing. CONTROLLER is familiar with these technical and organizational measures, and it shall be CONTROLLER’s responsibility that such measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. PROCESSOR shall provide details of the implemented technical and organizational measures at CONTROLLER’s reasonable request.
