To better understand about Data Protection and DPOption

Who is concerned by the Data Protection Regulations?

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) applies to all public and private entities located in the European Union, as well as to those located abroad but which process personal data with specific data regulations in force. Regarding GDPR, this represents a vast majority of companies in France and in Europe, but this regulatory evolution impacts a significant number of legal entities worldwide.

What does the Data Protection Regulation mean for your business?

The implementation of the Data Protection Regulation in force is a combination of rules that existed in the past but relatively unknown to companies, and new obligations in the way personal data is administered and managed daily. Any company, community, association, or group that uses personal data must therefore demonstrate the existence of standards, processes or internal policies that lead to the proper management of information about their customers, prospects, and employees.

How long does a compliance project take?

Generally, two phases can be distinguished:

The implementation of the compliance programme between the start of the process and the execution of the initial compliance actions,
Continuity of the compliance programme in RUN format, allowing the application of all internal standards built during the initial programme.

It is therefore imperative to consider that compliance with data protection standard is a continuous process and involves actions to be carried out on a permanent basis (regular analyses of existing processing and new projects, reviews of GDPR amendments with partners and suppliers, management of requests that may emanate from the persons concerned by the processing, etc.).

What commitments does DPOption make to its clients?
