Statistics and key facts

Cyber attacks

In 2020, nearly 30% of local authorities were victims of a ransomware attack according to a study by Clusif. Indeed, that same year saw the number of cyberattacks against local authorities increase by 50% compared to 2019.

Local elected officials are now increasingly taking full measure of this risk

CNIL sanction

In 2022, the President of the CNIL decided to formally notify 22 municipalities in mainland France and overseas to appoint a data protection officer. They have 4 months to comply by appointing a data protection officer, under the conditions set out in the GDPR.

If the municipalities do not comply with the formal notice, the president may refer the matter to the restricted committee – the CNIL body responsible for issuing sanctions – which may decide on a fine and also make it public.
