Description
The Compliance Team within team ICT purchasing of the Procurement and Contracting department of SURF negotiates not only good prices but also optimal purchasing and contracting agreements, compliant with national and EU regulations. This is not only paperwork but also involves looking into the nitty-gritty details of network traffic to verify the exchange of telemetry data as is done in the data processing impact assessments (DPIAs). In this presentation we would like to share our experiences on vendor compliance, how SURF has organized its procurement, contracting & compliance efforts and how the results benefit the SURF members. We will also zoom in on the vendors perspective. These insights are beneficial for other NRENs to apply in their efforts.
