#### 4.2.4.2 Server & gateway remote data processing
When VPNs are reliant on servers, gateways, or “exit nodes” operated by the manufacturer, those operations make up an important part of the product architecture. These typically serve the same functions as any other server or gateway, but remain entirely under the control of the manufacturer instead of being deployed on customer infrastructure. Due to the fact that a VPN is unable to function without this manner of data processing, it is held to the same requirements as any other VPN server or gateway, in addition to the requirements laid out in Annex R.
When VPNs are reliant on servers, gateways, or “exit nodes” operated by the manufacturer, those operations make up an important part of the product architecture. These typically serve the same functions as any other server or gateway, but remain entirely under the control of the manufacturer instead of being deployed on customer infrastructure. Where the product relies on a remote data processing solution (RDPS) for the provision or support of one or more product functions, such reliance introduces a product-facing RDPS boundary between the local product side and the RDPS side. RDPS-side VPN servers and gateways are held to the same requirements as any other VPN server or gateway, in addition to the requirements laid out in Annex R.

### 5.2.7 REQ-SSD-07 Applicability of Annex R
##### 5.2.7.1 Requirement
Where the product relies on a remote data processing solution (RDPS) for the provision or support of one or more product functions, the product shall satisfy the applicable requirements specified in Annex R.
> NOTE: Annex R specifies supplementary requirements for the product-facing RDPS _boundary_ and does not replace the requirements applicable to the product _function_ as such.
##### 5.2.7.2 Applicability
This requirement applies to all products which provide any manner of RDPS, including
* UC-1: required
* UC-2: required
* UC-3: required
* UC-4: required
* UC-5: required
* UC-6: not required
* UC-7: not required if product does not require RDPS for the provision or support of any product function
#### 5.2.7.3 Guidance
This requirement does not apply to UC-6 because by definition that use case does not utilize any RDPS. If a product requires RDPS to fulfill any product function, it does not fall under UC-6.
