Legal Review
Legal Review is examination of a vendor relationship's contractual and legal terms, such as data processing, liability, and confidentiality, by legal staff.
Why it matters
Legal review covers the agreements, such as DPAs and NDAs, that often accompany and gate a security questionnaire.
Where it appears in the workflow
Runs in parallel with security review during procurement, focused on contractual terms.
Common mistakes
- Treating legal review as a universal term with no workflow context.
