SURF Framework of Legal Standards for (Cloud) Services
Would you like to enter into a contract with (cloud) suppliers? SURF's Framework of Legal Standards for cloud and other services sets the rules governing confidentiality, privacy, ownership, and availability. It contains standard provisions and a model processor agreement that provide institutions with a solid basis for contracts with suppliers.
SURF Framework of Legal Standards
If you wish to establish a sound legal basis for making agreements with (cloud) providers for your institution, you can use the SURF Framework of Legal Standards for Cloud Services (PDF, version September 2018).
Appendices to the Framework
The standards framework also contains a number of important appendices that will help you use and apply the standards framework.
