These are all excellent suggestions - and while we're on the subject of that sort of thing, *everyone* should have warrantees of GDPR compliance in any of their third-party contracts in which data can be touched, and *also* indemnification clauses in those same contracts if you are held responsible because those third-parties were breached, etc., and found to *not* be in compliance with GDPR (for which GDPR specifically provides - i.e. GDPR can go through the third-party contract and hold *you* liable).  This is one of the ways that GDPR can seep in to get you even if you think you're safe because you're not in the EU.
