You notice the SaaS contract lacks clear language on data localization, but the client operates in India where local laws require certain data to stay within the country. How do you handle this?

Tip for answering: Demonstrate knowledge of local data privacy laws, the need for contract updates, and cross-team coordination to ensure compliance.

Model Answer:
Advise updating the contract to include data localization clauses mandating storage and processing within India for specified data types. Ensure compliance with Indian IT Rules, 2021 on sensitive personal data and critical personal data. Include provisions for audit rights, security standards, and breach notifications specific to Indian law. Coordinate with tech and compliance teams to verify infrastructure capabilities. Consider fallback clauses if cross-border transfers are necessary, with explicit consent and adequate safeguards.
