What compliance checks do cybersecurity and MSSP firms need before licensing data to AI companies?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Before licensing, cybersecurity and MSSP firms should confirm they own the records, check privacy notices and customer contracts, and address client confidentiality, sensitive indicators that could expose clients and contract restrictions. Records that can't meet the rules are excluded.
Sector-specific checks#
Client confidentiality, sensitive indicators that could expose clients and contract restrictions.
General checks for every company#
Ownership of the records, privacy notices in force when they were created, customer and vendor contract limits, employee notices, and any recordings' consent.
Records that need extra care#
Within alert triage records, incident investigations, SOC runbooks and threat analysis notes, free-text notes and attachments most often hide personal or confidential details.
How SourceX helps#
Every deal includes a rights review before preparation, and counsel reviews deal-specific questions. SourceX starts with a short fit check that shares no data. If it fits, rights are reviewed, a copy is prepared with personal and confidential details removed, and your company approves exactly what leaves before anything is delivered under a signed license.
