Many ComplyDog customers provide their own data processing agreements (DPAs), but this standard DPA template from GDPR.eu can serve as a useful starting point. As an example, you may review the DPA at https://gdpr.growsurf.com/dpa, which uses the GDPR.eu template with some modifications from legal counsel.

We still recommend having a lawyer review any DPA, as ComplyDog cannot provide legal advice. Each SaaS company handles data differently, so it's best to customize the DPA to your specific needs. A common practice for early-stage startups is to draft an initial DPA themselves, then have a lawyer review and finalize it. This allows you to create an agreement tailored to your business while benefiting from legal expertise. Reaching out to legal counsel helps ensure your DPA complies with regulations and protects all parties involved. You can use an online legal services platform like UpCounsel to connect with an attorney for a one-time DPA review.
