The Journal des Entreprises (JDE) shares the GDPR Barometer of Data Comply One (formerly Mission RGPD)

The Data Comply One 2024 GDPR Barometer highlighted by Le Journal des Entreprises

Le Journal des Entreprises (JDE) has covered the results of the GDPR Barometer for SMEs and Mid-Sized Companies – 2024, published by Data Comply One (formerly Mission RGPD) in partnership with Visiativ and Simon Associés – Le Droit d'Entreprendre. This publication provides a concrete snapshot of the maturity level of French mid-sized companies in meeting their personal data protection obligations. The barometer is freely downloadable and serves as a reference resource for executives, DPOs and compliance officers looking to benchmark their organisation against market practices.

Why track the evolution of GDPR compliance in SMEs and mid-sized companies?

GDPR compliance is not a one-off project: it requires ongoing management, adapted to regulatory developments and the risks specific to each organisation. For SMEs and mid-sized companies, which often operate with limited resources, having sector-specific benchmarks is essential for prioritising actions and engaging leadership teams.

• Assessing maturity: a sector barometer makes it possible to compare one's level of compliance with that of similar organisations and to identify priority areas for improvement.
• Structuring the approach: data processing mapping, registers, impact assessments (DPIAs), breach management — all areas that a dedicated platform like Data Comply One helps to centralise and monitor over time.
• Anticipating audits: rigorously documenting compliance is the best way to demonstrate commitment in the event of an audit or inspection by the supervisory authority.

Data Comply One supports SMEs, mid-sized companies, public authorities and professional firms in this structured and pragmatic management of their compliance.
