The General Data Protection Regulation "GDPR" (RGPD in French) came into force on 25 May 2018. Companies, administrations and associations that process personal data as part of their activities must control the legal risks related to the personal data of their stakeholders (employees, customers, users, etc.) and meet their customers' requirements.

What is "Engagement RGPD" label ?

The "Engagement RGPD" label is intended for all organisations wishing to highlight their commitment to data protection regulations.
The aim of this label is to make the implementation of a GDPR compliance process more accessible and to turn a regulatory constraint into an opportunity for companies to stand out and to enhance their activity.

Created by two key players in the field of compliance, the "Engagement RGPD" label is the guarantee of making the GDPR a strong selling point for your business.

At the initiative of Michel ROUSSEAU, founder and manager of the franchise Agence RGPD, the label is today led by two complementary players:

  • The Agence RGPD manages your compliance and its maintenance and prepares you to obtain the label
  • Apave Certification audits your entity to obtain the label on the basis of three "levels"

Who should attend "Engagement RGPD" label

The label is intended for all public or private entities wishing to promote and demonstrate the implementation of the GDPR within their organisation.
