BSA, which represents many large software and cloud-based companies like IBM, Microsoft, and SAP, said a new opinion by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) “introduces a significant new requirement on data controllers.” The EDPB adopted this week an opinion requiring controllers (say a government or company) to obtain much more information about their processors and subprocessors (say HR software).
