ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that the enforceable security obligations are located in the Security Addendum of the customer agreement rather than in the public Trust Center disclosure, making the Addendum the operative document for vendor risk assessments and security compliance reviews.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement establishes that the specific security measures and remediation timelines applicable to customer data are defined in the Security Addendum, meaning customers must review that contractual document to understand the binding scope of Databricks' security obligations toward their data.
