Complete DGSSI compliance guide for MoroccoAm I required to comply with Morocco's law 09-08 on personal data?
Yes, as soon as you process personal data of employees, clients, or prospects in Morocco. CNDP declaration is mandatory before processing starts. Non-compliance penalties include administrative and criminal fines.
What's the difference between the DGSSI directive and law 05-20?
Law 05-20 (2020) is the founding cybersecurity statute in Morocco; it created the General Directorate for Information Systems Security (DGSSI). The DGSSI directive is the operational instrument detailing the security controls that affected organizations, particularly OIVs, must implement.
Do I need a full-time dedicated ISO 27001 Lead Auditor?
No. We provide a certified Lead Auditor for the duration of your engagement, on a fixed-fee or time-and-materials basis. For organizations maintaining ISO 27001 over time, we also offer a part-time outsourced internal auditor service.
How does NIS 2 affect Moroccan companies?
NIS 2 is an EU directive that applies to EU companies and to those providing critical services to them. Moroccan exporters and subsidiaries of European companies operating in Morocco typically need to upgrade their security controls. We support this compliance ramp-up.
