What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European text that came into force on May 25, 2018. It provides a framework for the collection, use and protection of the personal data of any person living in the European Union.

Any organisation, regardless of its size (SMEs, mid-caps, associations, local authorities, e-merchants, etc.), is concerned if it processes personal data (customers, prospects, employees, patients, users, etc.).

Examples of personal data protected by the GDPR :

  • Last name, first name, email address, telephone number

  • Health data

  • Bank details

  • IP address, cookies, browsing data

  • HR data (payroll, CV, evaluations, etc.)

The GDPR imposes in particular:

  • Keeping a register of processing

  • Clear information for people

  • Respect for rights (access, erasure, portability, rectification)

  • Data security

  • The appointment of a DPO in certain cases

Why is GDPR compliance essential?

✅ Legal obligations

Complying with the GDPR means meeting a legal obligation. In the event of a breach, the national authority (CNIL in France, French authority) can impose fines of up to €20 million or 4% of worldwide turnover.

✅ Business benefits

  • Build trust with your customers and partners

  • Improve your brand image through transparency

  • Prevent cyberattacks and reduce financial risk

  • Optimize your internal processes and gain in efficiency

What are the risks, sanctions and CNIL controls?

The CNIL carries out regular inspections in France.
The main reasons for sanctions are:

  • Lack of a processing record

  • Lack of information for users

  • Technical safety defect

  • Absence of DPO

  • Excessive data retention

Examples of recent sanctions :

  • More than €20 million fine for web giants

  • Several thousand euros for SMEs

A GDPR audit or the support of a GDPR service provider such as Data Comply One can avoid these risks.

The concrete benefits of successful GDPR compliance

  • Zero stress in the event of a CNIL inspection

  • Customers reassured by your GDPR commitments (GDPR Committed label issued by Data Comply One) and your best practices

  • Reduced risk of data leakage and cyber attacks

  • Commercial valuation (your prospects trust you more)

  • Smoother and more automated internal processes
