“And my concern is specifically putting, making sure we're talking about audit, we're talking about the definition regarding what's required in a vendor contract. Because it goes down to the contractual obligations. And, you know, what the vendor can actually use with the data, putting those guardrails on there. is huge and significant. For my part, my concern is that we put a policy out here for that and then after that, okay, we're already automatically amending it from that.
