What’s a Monitoring Body ?
Codes of conduct allow professionals in a sector to demonstrate their compliance with the GDPR by justifying their good practices. Adherence to a code is voluntary. However, controlling the correct application of the Code by an independent third-party is a legal requirement. Monitoring bodies must be accredited by the competent supervisory authority to carry out this task.
After a phase of investigation and review, the CNIL (competent authority for the CISPE Code of Conduct) issued accreditations to the monitoring bodies listed below. These independent monitoring bodies ensure that companies declaring services under the CISPE Code of Conduct comply with its requirements.
Monitoring Body eligibility is determined by the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés), the Designated Supervisory Authority for the CISPE Code of Conduct. If your organisation wishes to apply and become an accredited monitoring body, please contact CNIL directly.
