A processor must assist the controller in:
- A.Hiring new employees, and it exempts any processing carried out under a contract signed before the Regulation took effect
- B.Responding to data subject requests and ensuring compliance with data security, breach notification, and DPIA obligations
- C.Marketing activities
- D.Developing new products, citing Article 28(3)(c), which lets the processor determine its own security measures independent of the controller's instructions
Why B is correct
Article 28(3)(e) and (f) require the processor to assist the controller in fulfilling obligations regarding data subject requests, security, breach notification, DPIAs, and prior consultation.
