7.3 Cooperation. Bizangle will provide Customer reasonable cooperation and information needed for Customer to meet its own notification obligations under Applicable Data-Protection Law.
7.4 No Admission. Bizangle's notification of, or response to, a Security Incident is not an acknowledgment by Bizangle of any fault or liability.
8. Audits
8.1 Information. Bizangle will make available to Customer, on reasonable request, the information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and Article 28 GDPR, including relevant third-party audit reports (e.g., SOC 2 Type II, if available) and a summary of security certifications.
