In a move expected to clear a path for companies seeking to implement whistleblower systems in France that will comply with both the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and French data protection laws, the French Data Protection Agency has set up a means to let companies get the required approval of their systems online.

As expected, the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertes has made available online a single authorization for whistleblower systems that comply with its guidelines.
