In a digital landscape where cyberattacks against the public sector are on the increase, compliance should no longer be seen as an administrative constraint, but as a lever for resilience. For local authorities, the’DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) is the central tool in this approach. Over and above the legal obligation, it guarantees that public confidence is not broken at the first incident.
AIPD: More than just a box to tick
The AIPD is mandatory whenever data processing is likely to generate a high risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals. For a local authority, this almost systematically concerns :
- The introduction of video protection.
- Managing school and after-school files.
- The deployment of Smart City (connected objects, traffic management).
Neglecting this step not only exposes you to sanctions from the CNIL, but also leaves gaping holes in your data governance.
RGS: The technical foundation of your compliance
While the AIPD defines the «why» and «how» of protection, the RGS (General Security Reference) provides the technical answers. As a public player, compliance with the RGS is your guarantee that your information systems are robust enough to support the conclusions of your AIPD.
At Phishia, we observe that the correlation between these two pillars is often the weak point of organizations: you can't effectively protect citizens' data (RGPD) without a secure, certified information system (RGS).
Phishia expertise: Transforming constraint into governance
Phishia's approach is not limited to writing documents. We can help you with :
- Mapping your risks depending on your infrastructure.
- Align your processes on ISO 27001 standards and NIS2 requirements.
- Demonstrate your compliance to the supervisory authorities and, above all, to your constituents.
Data security is the number one public service of the digital age. Don't let a lack of compliance undermine your institution.
