1. The 5 benefits of compliance

Avoiding financial penalties

The GDPR provides for considerable fines in the event of non-compliance. By complying with the requirements of the regulation, you avoid the risk of significant financial penalties.

Meeting a business challenge

GDPR compliance is crucial to winning tenders and retaining customers in audits. Companies no longer exchange data with non-compliant companies. Being compliant promotes growth by meeting prospects’ expectations and winning contracts.

Building trust

By complying with the principles of the GDPR, you show your customers and partners that you attach great importance to protecting their personal data, thereby strengthening your company’s trust and reputation.

Improve data management and security

The GDPR requires you to adopt more rigorous data management practices. This allows you to better organize and secure the personal information you collect, minimizing the risk of hacking or leaks.

2. The different solutions for your GDPR compliance

Law firms and consultancies :

Law firms pioneered the development of the manual GDPR compliance method in the 80s

Benefits :

  • Expertise and skills
  • Customer confidence

Minuses :

  • High cost
  • Time-consuming compliance
  • Not very innovative or adapted to today’s market
  • Mainly aimed at large companies

💡 Although lawyers initially designed the GDPR compliance method, it is very difficult for them to have the role of external DPO ensuring all GDPR compliance. Indeed, this is not their usual model for managing high value-added subjects.

GDPR and independent consulting firms:

GDPR & independent consulting firms (DPO freelancers) mainly appeared with the GDPR in 2018.

Benefits :

  • Full legal compliance (e.g. privacy policy, cookie policy, data processing register)
  • Attractive, low-cost offering

Minuses :

  • Time-consuming compliance
  • Lower level of GDPR skills (often consultants without legal skills)
  • Documents are not automatically updated

💡 Although GDPR consulting firms compete strongly with law firms, the level of compliance remains relatively low due to a lower level of competence.

IT service providers :

Specialist IT companies offer additional services related to the GDPR and, where applicable, the DPO function, to their customers as part of the creation or securing of websites.

Benefits :

  • The offer includes security and compliance of visible aspects (e.g. privacy policy).

Minuses :

  • Partial compliance
  • Not very innovative (lack of tools)
  • Low level of skills
  • Risk of non-compliance for the customer in the event of an audit

💡 IT security services mainly target VSEs/SMEs and are widespread due to their established presence at customer sites. In general, compliance remains partial and less legally satisfactory.

Software (dedicated to DPOs) :

These are SaaS software packages that help you manage or organize your compliance. There are a large number of them.

Benefits :

  • Useful in the event of an audit to prove compliance
  • Possibility of filing and centralizing all GDPR documents

Minuses :

  • Do-it-yourself compliance
  • Software and DPO required (additional cost)
  • For DPOs only

💡 These tools enable GDPR compliance to be organized, but do not enable the documents required for compliance to be drafted. What’s more, legal skills are still required (particularly for drafting documents).
