Find gaps in a vendor contract
A vendor contract should include security clauses, and missing ones leave you exposed. This tool checks contracts for missing security clauses, so you can spot the gaps before you sign.
Why security clauses matter in contracts
When a vendor handles your data, the contract is where their security obligations are set, breach notification, data handling, the right to audit, liability, and a contract missing these leaves you with no recourse if the vendor mishandles your data. These clauses are easy to omit, especially in a vendor’s standard terms written to favour them. Checking a contract for the security clauses it should contain surfaces the gaps while you can still negotiate them in, which is far better than discovering after a breach that the contract gave you nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do vendor contracts need security clauses?
Because they set the vendor’s obligations, breach notification, data handling, audit rights, liability, when they handle your data. Missing them leaves you no recourse.
What clauses are commonly missing?
Breach notification, data handling and return, the right to audit, and liability provisions, often absent from a vendor’s standard terms written to favour them.
Why check before signing?
Because you can negotiate missing clauses in beforehand, while discovering the gap after a breach means the contract gave you nothing.
Is this legal advice?
