TL;DR

What this template gives you

  • During a TSA the seller keeps running systems the buyer now depends on, and the two companies share access, data and risk. Vague security terms are where TSA disputes start.
  • A clause library with sample wording for 13 topics: security standards, shared-system access, data segregation, vulnerability management, logging, subcontractors, incident notification, audit rights, data return, exit assistance, warranties, indemnities and insurance.
  • 18 obligations tagged by party (provider, recipient, both) so you can see what the draft actually allocates, plus a service register that flags services with no security owner.
  • Every clause is marked as sample wording to discuss with counsel. This is not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

What security terms belong in a transition services agreement?

At minimum: the security baseline the provider must keep, how each side accesses the other’s systems, incident notification in hours with named contacts, audit or assurance rights, data segregation, return and deletion of data at the end of each service, rotation of shared credentials, and exit criteria per service. The template gives sample wording for each to take to counsel.

Can I paste these clauses into my TSA?

No. They are sample wording to start a discussion with your legal advisers, who will adapt them to the deal, the governing law and the rest of the agreement. Warranty, indemnity and insurance topics usually sit in the purchase agreement rather than the TSA.

Is this a finished document I can rely on?

No. Every tool in this suite is a template with sample content. It gives you a structured, editable starting point and generates a document from your own answers, but it is not legal, audit, certification, investment or professional advice. Review and adapt the output, and have it checked by the appropriate specialist before you rely on it.
