GDPR and Qualiopi compliance for a professional services SME
Services company based in Quatre Bornes, working with French clients.
Context
Management wanted to meet the GDPR and Qualiopi requirements of their European clients while overhauling an IT system inherited from a previous provider. No centralised inventory, no MFA, no unified antivirus, default firewall rules. The need was not a cosmetic audit. It was an operational roadmap.
What we did
Six areas covered in two weeks, on site and remote.
- Identity and authentication management. State of accounts, admin passwords, MFA.
- Hardware inventory. Listing, naming convention, replacement cycle, spare stock.
- Windows updates. Current process, patch windows, exposed delays.
- Network security. Firewall, segmentation, fixed IPs, internal HR application.
- Endpoint security. Antivirus, USB devices, backups.
- IT processes and documentation. Onboarding and offboarding, equipment loss, IT charter.
What we delivered
An audit report with findings, risks and a costed action plan. Six prioritised work streams, security first, infrastructure next, processes in parallel. A 12-month vision, a secure, efficient, compliant and structured IT system. The client started implementation the following month, beginning with MFA and antivirus.
