The protection of personal data in the Principality of Monaco: legal framework and practical application

The objective of this roundtable is to present the legal framework applicable in the Principality of Monaco, drawing a parallel with that existing in the European Union. Law no. 1.565 of December 3, 2024, relating to the protection of personal data, has considerably evolved the legal framework in the Principality, and Monegasque companies have adapted to integrate data protection into their daily practices. The objective of this roundtable is to present the applicable legal and regulatory developments as well as the practical implications for Monegasque companies and their data protection officers: new players in data protection compliance.

Roundtable 2 – 12:35 PM – 1:25 PM

Development and mastery of AI: digital trust in the service of innovation?

Driven by Antoine Mahérault, Cybersecurity & Privacy Consultant, AFCDP Regional Coordinator

As a Data Protection Officer, CISO, executive, or even in a personal capacity, it's difficult to continue raising awareness about data protection in a context where massive data breaches are multiplying and data-hungry technologies such as’Artificial intelligence, develop.

The Digital trust, can thus be understood as a societal mission: to contribute to building a reliable and secure digital ecosystem, on which public and private actors, professionals and the general public can rely.

At an organizational level, this approach translates very concretely into two sides of the same coin: the deployment of means to achieve a sufficient level of security, reliability, and compliance, and the ability to justify them, in accordance with the accountability principle dear to the GDPR, in order to reassure and foster trust.

Artificial intelligence, as a technological innovation, is therefore part of this complex landscape, and the DPO has a role to play in supporting organizations in a responsible innovation and digital trust approach.
