Do we need regulations
We and our organizations collaborate through different regulations. They are local, regional, national or international.
It is demonstrable that the regulations help or even amplify the development of the organisations.
Regulations circumscribe relations between people, between organisations (B2B) and between people and organisations (B2C).
Here are some regulations we can help you with: e-IDAS, NIS, GDPR, future e-Privacy, ... These European regulations must be interpreted according to national laws.
Other more generic topics may relate to intellectual property (computer programs, sui-generis law of databases), criminality, contract, ...).
Privacy
Do we need to protect our privacy and personal data? Some will tell you, I have nothing to hide ... but does that justify showing everything? Should we adopt a digital 'naturism'? The WEB or Internet is full of fabulous things but also of the most perverse and sordid reverts of our societies.
We are convinced that we must retain control of our personal data and 'impose' through this GDPR regulation that the data entrusted to third parties must be within a strict framework that has been presented to us and that we have accepted. Our (new) responsibility is to agree to share our data 'knowingly'. The GDPR gives us new rights, which we can exercise.
Data Protection Officer (or DPO)
The GDPR regulation defines a new role, the DPO. This role has a great autonomy and independence from the organizations to which it is attached. The DPO is responsible, among other things, for auditing and advising on all GDPR topics.
The DPO is also the contact point declared to the national authorities.
