Supplier Data Processing Agreements

If we purchase subscription licenses (such as Microsoft Office 365 or a hosted phone system) from our managed services provider who is acting as the reseller, would we still need to have a Supplier Data Processing Agreement with Microsoft/the phone system vendor or does that responsibility fall on our managed services provider/reseller only?

Answer:

In this case you don’t need to have to have a signed DPA nor will Microsoft accept such document, just think of the sheer number of DPAs would need to be signed by Microsoft. Microsoft and similar companies use Terms & Conditions/Product Privacy Statements to make known to the customers what are their (Microsoft) obligations in terms of processing personal data.

In this instance though, is it the obligation of the MSP/reseller to ensure that there are appropriate Terms & Conditions/Product Privacy Statements are in place?

Is the reseller's duty to ensure the products its sells are compliant with the legal requirements including the EU GDPR.
