CCIN / GDPR: Protecting Sensitive Data in Monaco
Sensitive Data: Your Protection Obligations in Monaco
To ensure your company’s compliance with data protection laws in Monaco and across Europe, it is crucial to first understand the legal obligations imposed by current legislation in the Monegasque Principality.
For any business or organization, handling sensitive data requires a clear understanding of responsibilities under the CCIN (Commission de Contrôle des Informations Nominatives) and GDPR regulations and to properly safeguard this critical information.
Sensitive data—such as health information, criminal records, or biometric data—demand higher levels of protection, including additional security measures and specific procedures tailored to the nature of the information.
Enlisting the help of a qualified Data Protection Officer (DPO) is highly recommended to not only ensure legal compliance but also to implement security policies capable of withstanding potential data breaches and hacking attempts.
Before moving forward, explore the detailed legal obligations, formalities, and security measures required by visiting the following resources, which will guide you through the complexities of data protection in the Principality of Monaco:

Protecting Sensitive Data: Ensuring Security and Confidentiality
Protecting sensitive data is a top priority for any company, especially in Monaco, where strict legal obligations apply. According to Article 17 of Law No. 1.165 of December 23, 1993 (as amended), the data controller must ensure the security and confidentiality of personal information.
The implementation of specific technical and organizational measures is crucial to protect sensitive data from destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.
When external service providers are involved in processing, these obligations still apply. A written contract must stipulate that the service provider acts solely under the instructions of the data controller.
Additionally, Article 17-1 mandates enhanced security measures for processing sensitive data related to public safety, criminal offenses, or biometric information.
Those whose data is processed must be informed of their rights, including access, rectification, and opposition. This responsibility falls on the data controller(s) and/or the DPO of the company or organization involved.
For cases of indirect data collection, specific rules govern the provision of information to affected individuals.
Failure to comply with these obligations can result in severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
Finally, any violation of sensitive data protection rules may lead to the removal of the company’s data processing activities from the official register.
