Trust Agreements

Trust agreements are legal documents that establish a fiduciary relationship where a grantor transfers assets to a trustee, who manages them for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. In technology contexts, they often refer to formal arrangements ensuring secure and reliable handling of data, systems, or services, such as in cloud computing or cybersecurity. They define roles, responsibilities, and protocols to maintain trust and compliance in digital environments.

Also known as: Trust Deeds, Fiduciary Agreements, Data Trusts, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Trust Frameworks
