Service level requirements in contracts related to the data processing environment
1. Task description

The organization has included the service level requirements necessary for the continuity of operations as part of procurement requirements and contracts.

In particular, it is important to agree on the parts of the data processing environment that are necessary for critical functions (e.g. the information systems and partners that support these functions) in a way that guarantees sufficient availability of services. Contracts can include requirements, e.g. general service level (SLA) and recovery from problem situations (RPO, RTO).

Risk Assessment and Considerations for Contracting ICT Services Supporting Critical Functions
1. Task description

When assessing risks related to ICT services supporting critical functions, financial entities should consider:

  • Whether contracting with a non-substitutable ICT service provider is involved.
  • The implications of multiple contracts with the same or closely connected ICT service providers.
  • Evaluating alternative solutions like using different service providers, aligning with business needs and digital resilience strategy.

Regarding subcontracting:

  • Financial entities should assess benefits and risks of subcontracting, especially when subcontractors are based in third countries.
  • Consideration of insolvency law provisions in case of the service provider's bankruptcy and constraints on data recovery.
  • Compliance with Union data protection rules and law enforcement in third countries.
  • Assessment of potential impacts of complex subcontracting chains on monitoring and supervisory abilities.
