DPO Obligations

AssessandmonitoryourGDPRsubcontractors

You assess your subcontractors. But can you prove it? GDPR compliance, data security, cyber risk — what the CNIL expects from you in the event of an audit.

As a DPO, you are required not only to assess, but above all to demonstrate, on behalf of the data controller, the level of compliance of suppliers and subcontractors with whom you manage personal data exchanges.

This obligation also covers the level of data security, and therefore the cyber risk presented by these third parties.

In the event of a CNIL audit, you are expected to produce traceable, regularly updated evidence attesting to the assessments carried out, the criteria used, and the level of control over identified risks.

To meet this accountability requirement, Conitiv has developed a third-party assessment solution tailored to the criticality level of each supplier or subcontractor. Automated scoring, compliance questionnaires, cyber audits, full traceability: a comprehensive system to meet GDPR obligations and anticipate audits.
