GDPR compliance KPIs allow the DPO to demonstrate the effectiveness of their measures and engage with management using numbers rather than legal jargon. About fifteen indicators are sufficient, divided into four categories: maturity (registry completion, DPIA execution), risk and security (volume of breaches, notification time), operational and awareness (trained employees, response time for data subject requests), and efficiency (project validation time, vendor compliance). The dashboard must then be tailored to each stakeholder: a macro view for the Executive Committee, technical granularity for the CISO. An imperative driven by the accountability principle of Article 5.2 of the GDPR.

Compliance risk mapping involves identifying company data processing activities, evaluating each threat scenario by cross-referencing its severity and probability, and then prioritizing corrective actions based on their criticality. Inspired by risk management standards such as ISO/IEC 27005, the process relies on the record of processing activities, is materialized in a three-level GDPR risk matrix, and leads to a remediation plan aimed at achieving a tolerable residual risk. It allows you to move from reactive compliance to strategic management, justify budgets to the Executive Committee, and demonstrate your accountability to the CNIL. With the AI Act, it must now also incorporate algorithmic risks.

Synthetic data consists of artificial datasets generated by algorithms that mimic the statistical properties of real data without being derived from it. While they allow for training AI models and testing without using real data, they are not automatically exempt from GDPR. In its guidelines dated July 7, 2026, the EDPB established three cumulative criteria—individualization, correlation, and inference—that a dataset must meet in its entirety to be classified as anonymous. It also strictly regulates web scraping used to train generative models. Here is a breakdown of the rules and a compliance checklist for DPOs.

A CNIL inspection is not inevitable: the heaviest penalties affect companies unable to document their governance, not those that have made an isolated error. This guide details the four types of inspections, the triggering factors, the two major points of vigilance for inspectors (data breach notification within 72 hours, management of data retention periods), as well as the method for structuring your defense through a GDPR compliance audit and aligned AI Act governance. You will also find the 5 documents to produce in less than 30 minutes in case of an on-site inspection and the details of the GDPR penalties incurred.

June 2026 marks a regulatory turning point for DPOs and legal professionals: the Court of Auditors delivers an uncompromising assessment of the CNIL, while the law of June 30, 2025, mandates a shift to strict opt-in for B2C cold calling from August 11, 2026. On the artificial intelligence front, the AI Office is finalizing its Codes of Conduct for GPAI model providers, with direct implications for auditing your AI subcontractors. Finally, the G7 Privacy meeting in Paris and Microsoft France's admission regarding the Cloud Act reignite the debate on digital sovereignty. Here's what you need to know to manage your GDPR and AI Act compliance this month.

Recruitment is among the CNIL's top inspection priorities. From automated screening and social media sourcing to CV retention, every step involves your responsibility. Retention limited to two years in an active database then five years in an archive, mandatory human oversight for AI decisions, informing candidates: these are the practical rules to secure your recruitment processes without hindering your sourcing efforts.

GDPR compliance is no longer a one-off project but a continuous and strategic process. For the DPO, Legal Director, or CISO, the GDPR dashboard becomes the central tool for centralizing, measuring, and managing this compliance daily. It helps identify bottlenecks, allocate resources where the risk is critical, and translate technical indicators into business value for the Executive Committee. This article details the essential KPIs (operational monitoring and risk management), the reporting method for the Executive Committee, and the upcoming convergence between GDPR and the AI Act.

The CNIL is overhauling its reference methodologies MR-001 and MR-003, which govern health data research. This is a paradigm shift: moving from administrative compliance to verifiable operational security on the ground. For healthcare, biotech, and insurance stakeholders, this means mandatory automated data purges, multi-factor authentication to be deployed before January 1, 2027, then 2028, restructured frameworks with two binding appendices, and European alignment. The changes apply immediately to new research, with a one-year transition period for ongoing processing.

In mid-May 2026, automated attacks against GitHub, PyPI, RubyGems, and software vendor Instructure revealed a systemic flaw: an organization's security no longer depends on its perimeter, but on the integrity of its entire software supply chain. For CISOs, CIOs, and DPOs, contractual validation of suppliers has become obsolete. NIS 2 and DORA now mandate absolute technical traceability (continuous component inventories, dependency control, Zero Trust applied to development), which also serves to document Article 32 of the GDPR.

GDPR, DORA, NIS 2, AI Act: Faced with the accumulation of European regulations, many organizations prioritize one project at the expense of others. This is a strategic mistake. These texts actually share a common denominator: risk management. By meeting the requirements of one, you lay the groundwork for the others. Here's how to build unified governance, reduce redundancies, and turn multi-regulatory compliance into a performance driver rather than a source of exhaustion.

Since spring 2026, CNIL has officially classified a user's inbox as a "terminal": any tracking pixel embedded in an email now requires prior and informed consent. This decision, based on Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and the GDPR, compels companies to thoroughly review their collection of behavioral data. Pixel regulation, predictive AI, digital sovereignty, transactional emails: here's what this regulatory shift concretely changes for your organization — and the actions to take before the end of the grace period in summer 2026.

May 2026 compliance news confirms a shift towards an active defense posture. On the agenda: the CNIL's annual report and the update of its health reference methodologies (deadline May 23, 2026), a wave of attacks targeting the software supply chain (GitHub, PyPI, RubyGems, Instructure/Canvas), the operational alignment between NIS 2, DORA, and Article 32 of the GDPR, and an international CNIL initiative for the protection of minors' data. A look at the concrete impacts for DPOs, CIOs, and CISOs.

Adequacy 6.3 introduces three major advancements: a Project module to manage Privacy by Design, an AI governance module to track and secure decisions related to AI use cases, and a media library restructured by folders and collections. This version also enhances the public register, the Incidents and Breach module, and overall ergonomics.

The AI Act doesn't replace GDPR: it amplifies it. For the DPO, the challenge isn't to change roles, but to adapt their network of referents to a more complex reality. Shadow AI detection, skill hybridization, shared management tools, strengthened legitimacy with business units: here's how to transform this human network into a true strategic asset for compliance.

As of 2026, CNIL is officially the supervisory authority for the AI Act in France. This decision repositions the DPO at the heart of AI governance: a strategic point of contact on executive committees, guarantor of the dual GDPR and AI Act framework, but often without additional resources. Caught between increased visibility and an overloaded scope, here's how DPOs can organize themselves, protect themselves legally, and gain influence without burning out.

The GDPR protects natural persons. But what happens to the data of those who are not yet — or are no longer — considered such? From prenatal genomic sequencing linked to the mother's medical record to medical data that continues to circulate after death, digital law reveals its blind spots. Recent leaks from UNSS and Cegedim Santé have highlighted the urgency of these issues. This is an overview of a grey area where ethics and GDPR compliance clash.

Connected health promises unprecedented prevention — but at what cost? By translating our bodies into data, connected devices and health algorithms raise fundamental ethical questions: truly free consent, the reduction of the individual to their biological constants, the risk of social division, and algorithmic bias. This article explores the tension between technological promise and respect for human dignity, at a time when the GDPR and the AI Act are redefining the rules of the game.

The €40 million fine imposed on Criteo by the CNIL — confirmed by the Conseil d'État — sent a clear signal to the entire AdTech ecosystem: the grey areas are over. Pseudonymous data, consent responsibility, the right to be forgotten, Retail Media… this article breaks down what concretely changes for startups and scaleups operating in digital advertising, and the priority projects to undertake immediately.

Since the CJEU ruling of September 4, 2025, data can change its legal nature depending on the means actually available to re-identify it. This so-called "relative" approach redefines the boundary between anonymization and pseudonymization — with direct implications for GDPR compliance strategies, the health, research, and AI Act sectors. An overview of the technical, legal, and ethical challenges, and the precautions to take within a still-evolving legislative framework.

April 2026 marks a busy month for compliance: the EDPB launches a coordinated action on processing transparency and adopts a harmonized DPIA model, the CNIL publishes its 2026 audit priorities and a final recommendation on tracking pixels in emails, Google deploys end-to-end encryption on Gmail under certain conditions, and the CJEU clarifies the limits of abusive access requests. Here are the key takeaways.

Faced with the omnipresence of screens and AI, current regulations often simply treat symptoms rather than causes. For data professionals, the challenge goes beyond simple compliance with the GDPR: it is a question of restoring real attentional and decision-making sovereignty. This summary analyzes why systemic governance is essential to protect human balances and collective performance.

Understanding what cookies mean is essential to protect your online privacy in 2026. A cookie is a digital memory placed by a site on your browser to remember your preferences or track your behavior. While they offer convenience (basket, language), they also ask the question of whether to accept cookies in the face of the risks of profiling. This guide gives you a clear cookie def and the method to clear Chrome cookies in one click.

The entry into force of the AI Act defines the new framework for European innovation, reconciling technology and the protection of fundamental rights. For DPOs and CISOs, this regulation imposes increased vigilance on the “red lines” of Article 5, such as cognitive manipulation or social scoring. The success of your compliance now depends on integrated governance, linking the requirements of the AI Act to the rigor of the GDPR to ensure a sovereign and secure growth trajectory.

The e-health sector is going through a major crisis with the massive intrusion suffered by Cegedim Santé, jeopardizing the personal data of nearly 15 million French patients. While medical records have become the priority target of cybercriminals on the dark web, this flaw highlights the fragility of digital medical infrastructures. This analysis deciphers the mechanisms of the attack, the risks of the supply chain (supply chain risk) and the concrete protection measures to be deployed to restore trust between practitioners and patients.

The month of March 2026 marks a turning point in digital governance with the forced convergence between cybersecurity, data protection and the regulation of artificial intelligence. Between the historic condemnation of Meta, the adoption of the Resilience Law transposing NIS 2 and DORA, and the official designation of the CNIL as the supervisory authority for the IA Act, compliance officers must now unify their processes. This summary analyzes systemic threats and regulatory changes to transform your obligations into performance drivers.

Compliance with the GDPR and the AI Act is a major challenge for healthcare and clinical research stakeholders. In this discussion, Eve Lepicard and Sophie Malabous from the Artic association explain how using Adequacy compliance software enables them to structure their record of processing activities agilely. Thanks to an intuitive interface and the support of Calixte Descamps, they transform regulatory constraints into tangible operational deliverables.

The integration of AI in health imposes new compliance challenges related to the GDPR and the AI Act. While the ergonomics of the tools facilitate care, it should not lead to medical disempowerment. For DPOs and CISOs, the challenge is to guarantee effective human surveillance and data sovereignty in the face of legal and technical risks. Learn how to secure your AI deployments while respecting medical confidentiality.

The use of artificial intelligence systems (AIS) in health imposes on professionals a triple obligation to provide information: the Public Health Code (CSP) for care, the GDPR for personal data, and the IA Act for the transparency of systems. To ensure their compliance, institutions must adopt graded (general, specific and comprehensive) and pedagogical communication. The objective is to guarantee transparency, to respect the right to explanation and to maintain patient-practitioner trust throughout the care journey.

L'entrée en vigueur de l'IA Act ne doit pas être vue comme une contrainte supplémentaire mais comme une extension naturelle du RGPD, particulièrement dans le secteur de la santé où les systèmes sont souvent classés à haut risque. La réussite de cette double mise en conformité repose sur l’AIPD, pivot central permettant d'intégrer la transparence et la supervision humaine. Grâce à Adequacy, cette interopérabilité réglementaire devient un levier d'innovation éthique et de gain de temps opérationnel.

The news at the beginning of 2026 is marked by two major data breaches: the theft of 1.5 million photos of UNSS students and the intrusion at Cegedim Santé affecting 15 million patients. Faced with this “long-lasting” hemorrhage of data (health, identity of minors), RGPD compliance must evolve from simple administrative management to an active resilience system. For professionals, this means strict control of third party risks, the adoption of strong authentication (MFA) and a rigorous data purge policy.

Discover the questions asked during our webinar “How to frame the reuse of health data?”. Led by Calixte Descamps (Adequacy) and Valentine Chauveau (Aumans Avocats), it provides concrete answers on legality, health data warehouses (EDS) and the AI Act to ensure your GDPR compliance. The replay and the PPT support are available to deepen these issues.

The massive leak of 1.5 million photos of students from UNSS (National Union of School Sport) on BreachForums marks a turning point in educational cybersecurity. This digital vulnerability, exposing minors from middle school to high school, highlights the critical risk of dormant data. For data protection professionals, this incident requires an urgent review of retention policies, the minimization of collections, and the automation of purges in order to ensure real and protective GDPR compliance.

The register of processing activities is not a static archive, but a living governance lever. For many DPOs, the major challenge lies in the granularity of processing forms: how to be precise without unnecessarily multiplying documents? Based on a set of indicators (purposes, data categories, retention periods), it is possible to structure a coherent register. This guide details the golden rules for grouping or dividing your activities in order to ensure sustainable compliance and simplified management thanks to the appropriate SaaS tools.

Faced with the increasing complexity of the GDPR and the arrival of the AI Act, consulting and law firms must transform compliance from a constraint into a strategic lever. The use of dedicated software makes it possible to centralize records, automate document production and guarantee total traceability, where traditional tools such as Excel reach their limits. By adopting a SaaS solution like Adequacy, professionals secure their deliverables, accelerate the execution of their missions and offer continuous management that retains their customers over the long term.

In 2026, total digital immersion erased the boundaries between private and professional life, giving way to systemic cyberbullying fuelled by intrusive algorithms. Whether it's viral lynchings assisted by AI among adolescents or permanent micro-control via People Analytics in business, data has become a vector of psychological suffering. To counter this invisible epidemic, organizations must move from simple paper compliance to an ethics of responsibility including rigorous audits of their surveillance tools, the anonymization of performance data, and technical compliance with a right to digital darkness.

February 2026 marked a turning point with the designation of the CNIL as the supervisory authority for the AI Act, the launch of the first NIS2 audits and a record sanctions record of 486 million euros. Between critical cyberattacks (UNSS, Cegedim) and new requirements on EHDS or the marking of content generated by AI, the convergence between cybersecurity and data protection is becoming an operational obligation. This analysis analyzes the 9 pillars that are redefining compliance for businesses and public organizations.

Compliance with the GDPR is not a one-off project but a daily challenge to maintain it over time. Faced with the requirements of the CNIL, the new Adequacy V6.2 version offers a robust platform to facilitate the management of resources, strengthen risk control and improve the user experience. In particular, this update makes it possible to automate the life cycle of resources and to optimize the management of incidents and violations.

In 2026, autonomous AI social networks are turning data protection into an algorithmic security challenge. These spaces, where humans become spectators of exchanges between language models, mask major risks of cognitive manipulation, data poisoning and model reversal. Compliance can no longer be limited to the management of data flows, but must uncover the human intentions behind each interaction to ensure information sovereignty and compliance with the GDPR in the face of the AI Act.

By 2026, the exploitation of data derived from "sharenting" will no longer be just an ethical debate, but a major operational risk for organizations. The massive sharing of minors' data by third parties creates a systemic compliance debt. Between the technical impossibility of algorithmic unlearning and evolving regulations on the digital sovereignty of digital natives, companies face exposure to mass litigation. This briefing note analyzes why managing minors' digital identity is becoming a pillar of data governance and a critical issue of civil and administrative liability.

The Data Privacy Framework (DPF), adopted in July 2023, is the third attempt to secure data transfers between Europe and the United States. It establishes a level of protection deemed “substantially equivalent” through new redress mechanisms like the DPRC. However, this adequacy only applies to certified organizations and remains vulnerable to the US Cloud Act and future legal challenges from Max Schrems. To ensure lasting compliance, encryption and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) remain the strongest technical and legal protections.

The entry into force of the AI Act requires an overhaul of data protection impact assessments (DPIA) to integrate systemic risks and algorithmic biases. In 2026, compliance is based on an integrated approach between the GDPR and the AI Act, where the automation of threat scenarios becomes essential. The Adequacy software industrializes this process via the EBIOS methodology, making it possible to generate accurate impact analyses directly from the treatment register to guarantee total control of risks related to artificial intelligence.

Wearable AI, illustrated by devices like the Friend.com necklace, captures data from those around us continuously. This evolution poses the challenge of third party AI consent, as voice is personal data protected by the GDPR. Compliance is based here on transparency, respect for the right to object and rigorous management of data processed outside of any prior framework (Shadow AI).

The expression “I have nothing to hide” is based on a major confusion between innocence and intimacy. Privacy is not a hiding place for the guilty, but the indispensable foundation of individual freedom and human dignity. Faced with algorithmic surveillance and AI, protecting personal data is an absolute necessity to avoid behavioral manipulation and preserve everyone's autonomy.

Refusing advertising cookies is essential to protect your health data, your financial situation and your emotional balance in the face of algorithmic scoring. Unlike technical cookies necessary for navigation, third-party trackers transform your behavior into a product. Rigorous management via the “refuse all” button or dedicated tools allows you to regain control without degrading the web experience.

The use of health data for research purposes is based on a complex regulatory framework, between the RGPD, the Data Protection Act (LIL) and the recommendations of the CNIL or the ANS. To secure your projects, it is imperative to correctly qualify the actors (data controller or subcontractor) and to choose the appropriate legal regime: internal studies, research subject to reference methodologies (MR) or constitution of a health data warehouse (EDS). This guide summarizes the compliance obligations to navigate peacefully in this ecosystem that is changing with the arrival of the EHDS.

On February 05 and 06, 2026, the Adequacy team invites you to the Maison de la Chimie in Paris for the unmissable event for data professionals.

In 2026, article 32 of the RGPD imposes a reinforced obligation of means, placing computer security at the heart of legal compliance. To ensure data protection, organizations must deploy technical and organizational measures that are proportionate to the risks (encryption, 2FA, resilience) while respecting the principle of Accountability. This responsibility requires proving the effectiveness of these devices in the face of tighter sanctions and the new requirements of the Digital Omnibus project.

The compliance of a data controller depends directly on the rigor of its service providers. Under the GDPR, outsourcing does not exempt you from liability: you must ensure that your subcontractors offer sufficient guarantees in terms of security and confidentiality. This guide details vigilance obligations, contractual levers such as the Security Assurance Plan (PAS) and offers a checklist of 16 control points to industrialize your audits and prove your diligence (Accountability).

The Digital Omnibus project aims to harmonize the GDPR and the AI Act to simplify the reuse of health data and promote medical innovation in Europe. By clarifying the identifiability of pseudonymized data, this reform could transform research practices while requiring strengthened governance.

The role of the DPO is changing following the gradual entry into force of the Digital Omnibus (DSA, DMA, Data Act) and the AI Act. These texts require organizations to move from traditional GDPR compliance to a global data and AI governance strategy. The DPO is becoming a strategic player that must guarantee algorithmic transparency, data interoperability and the classification of AI systems according to their level of risk. The challenge for 2026 is the integration of compliance by design to prevent sanctions and transform these regulatory challenges into competitive advantage.

Consent is the most strategic legal basis under the GDPR for the processing of any personal data. It requires a positive, free, specific and informed action by the person concerned, in particular for the collection of cookies, newsletters and marketing treatments. Invalid consent exposes your organization to major sanctions (GDPR fines, loss of trust, suspension of campaigns). To ensure defensible compliance and secure your future treatments, including those involving AI and the AI Act, it is crucial to document each step, offer a fair choice (accept/refuse), and ensure full traceability of evidence.

Since January 2023, the NIS 2 directive has strengthened cybersecurity obligations in Europe. This directive, combined with the GDPR and the AI Act (gradual application from 2026), makes the regulatory burden complex. Adequacy's NIS 2 Pack meets this challenge by offering a step-by-step approach and a unique and integrated SaaS tool. This solution supports DPOs, CIOs and CISOs towards sustainable compliance by covering these three regulations, thus avoiding redundancies, reducing costs and generating automatic proof of compliance for audits.

The reuse of health data is a crucial innovation driver, especially for research, the improvement of care and the development of AI tools. However, this process is strictly regulated by the RGPD, the Public Health Code and the CNIL doctrine. Before any project, it is imperative to validate 8 essential prerequisites that condition the legality and conformity of subsequent processing. From the qualification of use (primary vs secondary) to HDS hosting and the requirements of the AI Act, a methodical and rigorous approach is the only guarantee of innovative, controlled and sustainable use.

The recent viral advertising by InterMarché illustrates the power of emotion in digital marketing, but this success should not make us forget the major challenge of protecting personal data. Today, every digital interaction — from watching a commercial on social networks to browsing a site — involves the collection of information. For brands, consumer trust is no longer based solely on the quality of content, but also, and above all, on transparent and responsible management of their data, in line with the GDPR. Combining a strong message and respect for confidentiality is now the real guarantee of success in a hyper-connected world.

Compliance debt is the insidious accumulation of incomplete processes, obsolete documentation, and untracked data processing. This silent risk, generated by the proliferation of SaaS tools and requirements like RGPD and the AI Act, is no longer just a legal issue, but a genuine strategic and financial risk. Direct consequences include heavy fines, loss of productivity, and the blocking of AI or data-driven projects. To reduce it, companies must imperatively industrialize and centralize their compliance processes, equipping their DPOs with adapted, sovereign platforms.

The category of limited-risk AI systems under the AI Act aims to govern innovation while protecting users. While these systems do not pose a critical threat to fundamental rights, their use is subject to strict transparency obligations. The article details how professionals (suppliers and deployers) must ensure traceability and user information, particularly through rigorous documentation and light monitoring, which are essential principles for AI Act compliance within organizations.

The GDPR legitimate interest is a key basis for the processing of personal data, but it imposes a rigorous legitimate interest test. To secure your transactions and avoid sanctions, you must ensure the need for processing, transparency and respect for the right to object. In this article, discover compliance requirements and best practices for mastering this pillar of the GDPR with appropriate tools.

Unlike prohibited systems, high-risk AIs defined by the AI Act (automated recruitment, public services, biometrics) are authorized, but subject to strict obligations. Identifying, documenting and securing each use case is now mandatory to build a robust compliance file.

Artificial Intelligence is omnipresent, but behind innovation there is a major challenge of digital sovereignty and compliance with the GDPR and the recent AI Act. This article is intended for Legal, IT and Compliance departments to guide them in the ranking of AIs (French, European or global) and to help them structure the use of these technologies in a responsible and sustainable way.

The Digital Omnibus, a European legislative project, aims to group and simplify digital texts, but could change pillars of the GDPR, the e-Privacy Directive and the AI Act, creating risks of weakening digital rights. For DPOs and Compliance Managers, it is crucial to anticipate these changes in the definition of personal data, legitimate interest and the processing of sensitive data in order to immediately strengthen governance and secure GDPR compliance.

The European AI Act strictly prohibits uses of AI deemed to be at “unacceptable risk”, such as social scoring, cognitive manipulation (subliminal messages) or the exploitation of vulnerabilities. It is imperative for any organization to identify, block and document the absence of these prohibited practices.

From 2025, DPOs will have to articulate RGPD and IA Act for all high-risk AI systems, by updating their DPIs, registers and internal procedures, and by guaranteeing traceability, transparency and human supervision to ensure integrated and secure compliance.

En 2026, la conformité ne suffit plus : la maturité RGPD devient un levier stratégique. Découvrez comment évaluer votre niveau de maturité et piloter efficacement votre conformité grâce à la méthode d’autoévaluation de la CNIL.

Shadow AI — the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence tools within an organization — poses a critical threat to compliance with both the GDPR and the EU AI Act. Identifying hidden AI usage, establishing clear governance, and promoting responsible innovation are essential steps to turn this invisible risk into a driver of secure, compliant, and controlled innovation.

Entre référentiels CNIL, méthodologies de référence et guides pratiques, les professionnels de santé disposent de nombreux outils pour appliquer le RGPD efficacement — encore faut-il savoir lesquels suivre, comment les articuler et les adapter à leurs traitements de données sensibles.

La vidéosurveillance algorithmique associée à l’IA transforme le contrôle et la sécurité dans l’espace public et privé, mais sa conformité au RGPD et à l’IA Act est essentielle pour protéger les libertés publiques, encadrer les algorithmes, limiter la conservation des données et garantir transparence et traçabilité.

The GDPR is a strategic investment: cutting your budget weakens the confidence of investors, limits access to financing and weakens the company's competitiveness on the market.

Complying with the GDPR is a challenge for all businesses. A dedicated RGPD software allows you to automate your legal obligations, centralize the management of personal data and significantly reduce the risks of sanctions.

The geolocation of children is attracting more and more parents concerned about safety, but it also raises legal and ethical risks. Between protection and surveillance, the legal framework (RGPD, CNIL) and sociological issues make it possible to understand where to put the limit to protect without locking in.

The GDPR also applies to small businesses: a client database, a newsletter, or HR data is enough to be concerned. Far from being a constraint, compliance helps reduce risks, build credibility, and transform data management into a competitive advantage.

Two charters adopted in 2010 established the foundations of the digital right to be forgotten, from targeted advertising to search engines. They foreshadowed GDPR and continue to remind businesses today of the importance of transparency, data control, and digital trust.

On a daily basis, HR teams manage highly sensitive information and must comply with both labor law and the GDPR. Key risks include data breaches, unlawful retention, and loss of employee trust. With Adequacy, HR departments can secure their data processing, comply with statutory retention periods, and strengthen both trust and competitiveness.

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) complements the GDPR by harmonizing access, exchange and reuse of health data at the EU level, in order to improve care and stimulate innovation. For DPOs, this means a strengthened role in governance, security, compliance and ethics, with new practical obligations (audits, AIPD, documentation, cooperation with authorities).

Health data is one of the most sensitive types of data. Its processing requires a strict GDPR framework, solid legal bases, and rigorous governance. Read our article to discover the keys to staying compliant and securing your projects.

Alors que le Data Privacy Framework devait rétablir un cadre de confiance entre l’Europe et les États-Unis, sa stabilité est aujourd’hui remise en question. Des membres du Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, garant clé de ce dispositif, ont été poussés à la démission, fragilisant un accord déjà critiqué pour sa base juridique instable. À l’approche d’un potentiel bouleversement politique aux États-Unis, l’Europe peut-elle encore s’appuyer sur un système aussi précaire pour protéger les données de ses citoyens ?

Dominique Pissoort, DPO de la STIB, nous raconte comment Adequacy a simplifié la gestion du RGPD et transformé la conformité des données dans cette grande entreprise publique.

On the occasion of the DPO Morning organized by Le Printemps des DPO, our experts spoke during a morning dedicated to the challenges of DPOs. Claire de la Fouchardière, Product Manager, and Alessandro Fiorentino, Product Owner, shared their expertise on a current topic: “The GDPR is no longer alone: what solution is there to ensure your compliance with other data protection regulations? ”. A rich exchange around strategies, tools and challenges related to global compliance to be discovered in replay.

Discover how Ma Petite Mercerie, leader in online haberdashery sales in France, optimized its GDPR compliance with Adequacy. Camille Bradfer reveals to us the advantages of the solution, its impact on the internal organization and the development of teams' skills, while sharing her vision of the DPO of tomorrow.

At the DPO Forum Lyon 2024, Phenix Privacy and our team presented best practices for conducting effective impact assessments (AIPD), strengthening GDPR compliance and anticipating future regulations such as the AI Act.

Present at the DPO Spring 2024, Alessandro Fiorentino led two masterclasses dedicated to data breaches and the collaboration between DPO, RSSI and DSI in the face of new regulations (NIS2, DORA, IA Act). An event rich in expertise, at the service of ever more operational and strategic compliance.

Philippe Ebert, DPO for the Dassault Aviation Group, transitioned from a GDPR register managed in Excel to an industrial solution capable of coordinating around thirty correspondents, including its subsidiaries and international offices. He shares his experience with Adequacy: improved auditability, a higher quality register thanks to guided mode and consistency checks, traceability of modifications useful in case of a CNIL audit, and a strengthened transparency policy towards employees. He also provides his vision for the DPO of tomorrow, who will need to leverage their network of correspondents to address the AI Act and Data Act.

During an event organized with CCI France Belgium, we brought together experts and companies around the intersecting challenges of the GDPR, NIS2, DORA and the IA Act. An opportunity to strengthen the synergies between DPO and CISO, and to present our compliance solution adapted to European requirements and the Belgian market.
