CNIL closes injunction against FRANCE TRAVAIL after compliance with data security measures

The French data protection authority (CNIL) closed the injunction issued on 22 January 2026 against FRANCE TRAVAIL, after the organization demonstrated compliance with the security measures required by Article 32 of the GDPR. The original sanction included a €5 million fine and a daily astreinte of €5 000 for non‑compliance, which was not liquidated. FRANCE TRAVAIL implemented a stronger password policy, multi‑factor authentication, active log monitoring and limited data access for CAP EMPLOI advisors.

Why it matters: The closure shows that timely remediation of GDPR security deficiencies can halt additional penalties.
