Contract Review & Redlining, by Formiti's Privacy Lawyers
Privacy360 Contract Review is an AI-assisted workspace for privacy, AI and security clauses — DPAs, SCCs, data sharing agreements and AI vendor terms. It flags risky or missing language, compares wording against your playbooks and regulatory baselines, and pushes structured outcomes into vendor risk, records of processing and AI governance registers.
- Clause extraction and classification across DPAs, SCCs and AI terms
- Comparison against your standard playbooks and fallback positions
- Automatic flagging of risky, non-standard or missing clauses
- Suggested fallback language for negotiation
- Structured outputs feeding vendor risk and AI Governance registers

The challenge
Why does contract review sit outside most privacy operating models?
Clause decisions, fallback wording, reviewer notes and final outputs are frequently split across email, documents and disconnected tools. That makes it harder to apply consistent positions, keep evidence and move reviews through privacy, legal and commercial teams.
Review decisions separated from privacy records and supplier context
Inconsistent clause positions across teams and contract types
Manual redline preparation after review decisions are made
Limited operational evidence of what was reviewed and why

Apply your playbook and regulatory baselines
Clauses are checked against your standard positions and against baselines such as GDPR, the EU AI Act and SCC requirements.
Highlight deviations and gaps
Risky, non-standard or missing clauses are flagged so reviewers can focus their time where it actually changes the outcome.
Suggest changes and fallback wording
Proposed edits and fallback language are presented for reviewer approval, ready for negotiation with the counterparty.

Governance connections
How do contract decisions flow into operational governance?
Contract Review does not stop at a redline. Insights and decisions flow into the rest of the privacy operating model so the contract you signed is reflected in the systems your teams actually use.
- Vendor risk and supply chain: contract findings drive vendor risk scoring and ongoing supplier monitoring, not just contract metadata. Vendor risk module.
- Records of processing (RoPA): agreed purposes, data categories, locations and retention sync into your records so they reflect real contract terms. Records of processing.
- AI Governance: contracts involving AI services push key constraints — training data, outputs, retention, liability — into your AI system register and governance workflows. AI Governance.
- Audit-ready evidence: assessments, approvals, fallback choices and reviewer notes stay attached to the contract record alongside your wider privacy documentation.
