The Danish DPA's cloud audit questionnaire

The Danish data protection authority has received kudos here before for pro-actively sharing practical guidances and concrete advice, like their useful guidance for auditing processors.

Now, in the aftermath of their recent decision regarding a municipality's use of Google Chromebooks and Workspace for Education, they have shared the questionnaire they use when conducting audits for the use of cloud services.

Since this was only published in Danish (link below), I fired up DeepL and churned out an English translation as I know this will be of huge interest to many of my peers.
