I think the agreement definitely needs to include something about the processor notifying the controller about breaches, but I'm not sure if it's specifically 72 hours.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Based on my understanding of the GDPR, the agreement between the controller and processor needs to include provisions around reporting personal data breaches. I think option D captures that requirement well.

Ugh, I'm a bit lost on this one. The GDPR stuff can get pretty technical and specific. I'll have to go back and review my notes on the controller-processor relationship and agreement requirements. Hopefully, I can figure out the right answer.

Okay, I've got this. The key here is that the question is asking about what must be included in the written agreement, so I need to focus on identifying the option that covers the core GDPR requirements for that agreement. I think I can narrow it down.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure about the details of the GDPR requirements for the controller-processor agreement. I'll have to think this through carefully and try to eliminate the options that don't seem quite right.

The data model changes are a big concern. I'm not sure the Data Loader and Import Wizard would be able to handle that level of transformation. A script using the Bulk API might be a better approach.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I know portsentry is designed to detect and respond to port scans, but I'm not familiar with the other tools on the list. I'll have to think this through carefully.
