Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), what are the obligations of a processor that engages a sub-processor?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the obligations of a processor that engages a sub-processor are to obtain the consent of the controller and ensure the sub-processor complies with data processing obligations that are equivalent to those that apply to the processor. The GDPR defines a processor as a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller. A sub-processor is a third party that is engaged by the processor to carry out specific processing activities on behalf of the controller. The GDPR requires that the processor does not engage another processor without prior specific or general written authorization of the controller. In the case of general written authorization, the processor must inform the controller of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other processors, thereby giving the controller the opportunity to object to such changes. The processor must also ensure that the same data protection obligations as set out in the contract or other legal act between the controller and the processor are imposed on that other processor by way of a contract or other legal act under Union or Member State law, .Reference:[GDPR Article 28], [CIPM - International Association of Privacy Professionals]

I think they need to get written consent from the controller too.

Wait, does that mean the processor is still liable if the sub-processor messes up?

I feel like option D sounds right because it mentions compliance with data processing obligations, but I’m a bit confused about the consent part.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe the processor must get the controller's authorization before engaging a sub-processor.

I remember something about the processor being liable for the sub-processor's actions, but I can't recall if that was in the context of a written agreement or just general liability.

I think the processor needs to ensure the sub-processor complies with the same obligations, but I'm not sure if it requires consent or just notification.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The processor has to get written agreement from the sub-processor and make sure they're fully liable to the controller.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is that the processor needs to get the controller's authorization and ensure the sub-processor meets the same data processing obligations.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know SDN is all about programmable networks, but I'm not totally clear on the specifics of how it handles alternative path finding. I'll have to think this through.

Okay, let's see. Based on the options, I'm guessing B and E are probably not correct, since those seem more like general desktop/developer use cases. I'll go with A and D as my final answer.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The gNB is the 5G base station, and the protocol layers include RLC, PDCP, MAC, and SDAP. Based on my understanding, SDAP is the layer that handles QoS mapping, so I'll go with that.
