Use this skill when a data processing agreement is being negotiated or renewed and someone asks "review the TOMs annex", "check the security measures in this DPA", "can we sign this annex", "the customer sent their DPA with a security schedule", "is our standard annex still true" or "does this vendor's annex promise enough". Breaks the technical and organisational measures annex into single commitments, compares each one with what the company actually runs or with what the use case needs, and…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Use this for one agreement at a time, or once a year on the company's own standard annex, and earlier when a subprocessor changes, a new tool touches the data, a security incident happens or a certificate lapses. You get three files in a new subfolder per agreement, `./dpa-security-annex-review/<agreement>/`: a spreadsheet you can open in Excel with one line per security promise in the annex, whether it is true today and the proof (`annex-review.csv`); the wording changes to propose in the negotiation, each with a one-line reason (`redlines.md`); and a list of promises the company does not keep today, with an owner and a fix (`practice-gaps.md`). This skill drafts for a human to review and sign; this skill never marks a control effective. The reader's legal counsel or data protection officer decides what is signed. End `redlines.md` with `## Not checked`: what this run did not read or could not open, what it assumed and what it did not verify, specific to this run. ## Inputs to gather …

How to install
mdr add better-isms/grcskills/dpa-security-annex-review@sha256:20b4c4b07b4d65a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.94f7f3e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
