Security committee
Preparing, supporting and representing companies called before a security committee after a non-compliance finding.
When does it apply?
When a breach of security rules is found during an inspection or a check, the company concerned may be called to present its comments to a committee, which gives an opinion on what should follow. The outcome can go as far as an administrative penalty, so the stakes for the business are high.
Main steps
Deadlines are short: the quality of the file and of the comments is decisive.

2. Notification

3. Committee

4. Decision

Before, during and after the committee
Support from the notification onward, to defend the company's interests as well as possible.
