A is a controller for personal data. A agrees to share data with B for B's stated purposes. B becomes sole controller for the data he receives. Assume a fully valid legal basis, all fair and above board, and B has given appropriate assurances about use, security and retention.
To what extent, if any, having shared the data, is A justified in auditing B's use of the data (e.g. to satisfy himself there has been no function creep, security is in place and being maintained etc.) ? In general I have no objection, if the parties agree to that, but if such activities actually involved access to the data, for which B is now sole data controller where is the necessity? B is subject to the regulatory might of ICO and if the sharing was justified in the first place A faces no risk from any misfeasance by B.
