CNIL publishes guide to support organizations in GDPR compliance

France’s data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés, published a guide to support charitable, political and other organizations with EU General Data Protection Regulation compliance. The guide outlines the legal framework for data protection, provides benchmarks for organization and professional practices, and an action plan presenting the main stages of compliance. “In order to comply with the GDPR, these structures may need to review and change their working methods,” the CNIL said.
