Definition
A subprocessor is a third party your vendor uses to process your data - cloud hosting, analytics, or an AI model provider, for example.
Every subprocessor is part of your data's attack surface and compliance scope. Insist on a maintained list, advance notice of changes with a right to object, and contractual obligations that flow your requirements down to them.
